The INDIGO GIRLS will perform at Reynolds Performance Hall on Sunday, October 13th at 7:00 pm. With their 1987 debut album Strange Fire, Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers sold more than two million copies under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” (reprised in the 2023 movie Barbie) and “Kid Fears,” turning the Indigo Girls into two of the most successful folk artists in history. Over a thirty-seven-year career that began in clubs around their native Atlanta, Georgia, the multi-Grammy-winning pair recorded sixteen studio albums, sold over 15 million records, and built a dedicated, enduring following across the globe. Rolling Stone describes them as the “ideal duet partners.” They are co-founders of Honor the Earth, a non-profit dedicated to the survival of sustainable Native communities, Indigenous environmental justice, and green energy solutions.
UCA students can obtain ONE FREE TICKET to this event by visiting the box office at Reynolds Performance Hall or Windgate Center for Fine and Performing Arts. Students must present their UCA Bear Card to receive a ticket; however, a limited number of tickets are available.
Both Reynolds and Windgate box offices are open Monday – Friday from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.
