Indigo Girls-women who rock!
The opening act, The Prokofiev Girls, was a wonderful addition to this iconic duo with their back-up band, The Shadowboxers. They are definitely going to be a band to check out. Amy really is a force to be reckoned with in regards to stage presence and energy, let alone her ability to rock hard. In regards to the Girls, being a long time appreciative follower, this was only my second concert to witness. Their new cd is out in Oct. Emily steals the show with her amazing guitar prowess. I was appreciative of her abilities and know that there are few out there that can surpass her skill in song writing and guitar playing. They were in top form, putting Soul and sweat into every number. Get a ticket for the next show. You will enjoy it.
