Indigo Girls come to Lowell

Here’s what my colleague Emily Young had to say about the Friday concert:
“Third time’s a charm,” the Indigo Girls sang last night in one of three new songs from their forth-coming independent album, out in February 2009.
Last night also marked the third time my sister and I saw the Indigo Girls perform at Lowell’s Boarding House Park. Accompanied by the ever-energetic Julie Wolf on keys and accordion, the strumming folk duo — Amy Ray and Emily Saliers – played 20 songs and two encores in 90-minutes flat.
There were several songs that I didn’t know, but my foot never stopped tapping. More than 20 years after releasing their first album, “Strange Fire,” their voices are as rich and complimentary as ever; one, by no means, is carrying the other. Their music is perfect for a cross-country road trip, as well as an evening at the grassy, outdoor pavilion.
Additionally, the Girls finally had the weather on their side. As early as 7:40 a.m., local fans were sunning themselves at the park. Seriously.
