In the Mix:
Amy Ray talks solo music,
Indigo Girls shows
By Collin Kelley
Amy Ray has a new solo tune (“Chuck Will’s Widow) and embarked on a brief solo
tour before rejoining fellow Indigo Girls bandmate Emily Saliers for two big local concerts.
Indigo Girls are headlining the Oct. 2 Amplify Decatur benefit concert and will be
ringing in the new year at Symphony Hall with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on Dec.
30-31. And, of course, we had to get her Spotify playlist, which features some fine folk
rock.
We caught up with the
Decatur native to find out
what it’s like being back on
the road, recording a new
solo album, and working
with a “game changing”
nonprofit in her hometown.
Q. “Chuck Will’s Widow”
is your third single release
this year. Is a new solo
album on the way, and
if so, what can listeners
expect?
A. Yes, yes, yes! I am always
working towards another
Amy Ray Band and Indigo
Girl record. I enjoy song
writing and the pursuit
of the craft, so am always
making time for it. Also,
I love collaborating. My
band is just so joyful and
fun to play with so I am
always looking towards the
next project and when we can
create together. We are going
to Nashville to record for a
week in December, hoping to
release vinyl, whenever we can get it all done.
Q. How does it feel to be back to playing live music in front of an audience?
A. I am psyched! Indigos have been out touring and it has been a curious re-entry with lots
of thoughts hying around in everyone’s heads, the audience included, you just never know
what someone out there in the crowd has been through, I always try to remember that, and
especially now, it hits home. We are constantly adjusting to guidelines that affect everything
from load-in to the show, to after the show, so it’s keeping us on our toes, but it’s also
keeping us humble.
Q. Indigo Girls are headlining the Amplify concert in Decatur in October. What do
you want people to know about the nonprofit’s mission?
A. The Decatur Cooperative Ministry is game changer to so many folks in our community.
I first heard about them through my mom and the church I grew up in — Decatur First
United Methodist. DFUMC and other churches in the community are all waking up to
what it means to be Christian in this world, and I am heartened by how much energy
they are putting towards helping people who are having bad times. Housing stability is
foundational to getting out of hard times, and direct action in our own community will
make us all stronger
Q. What songs are albums have been on repeat for you lately? Is there an artist or band
you’re telling everyone they should be listening to?
A. I always listen to Bon Iver, a constant in my life, other artist I am digging right now are:
Joy Oladokun, Meet Me @ The Altar, Brent Cobb, Angaleena Presley, Katie Pruitt, Big Red
Machine, Algiers, Kate Tempest, Minton Sparks.
