Two folk greats to
hit Oregon Zoo
What happens when two world-class
recording artists strip their music down to
reveal a purity of sound and truth of mes
sage? Find out when the Indigo Girls and
Cowboy Junkies bring poignant melodies
to town, Saturday, J une 28 at 7 p. m. as part
of the Oregon Zoo Summer Concert Se
ries.
Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of the In
digo Girls entered the music scene in the
late 1980s, in the wake of a folk revival.
Bringing to the group the contrast of two
distinct styles and musical backgrounds,
Ray and Saliers produced a unique sound
that stood out among fellow artists.
Their 1989 major-label debut, which
included the single “Closer to Fine,” earned
a Grammy and reached platinum status.
After several strong-selling albums,
including the Grammy-nominated "Back
on the Bus, Y’ AH” and the platinum "Rites
of Passage,” the Indigo Girls produced
their most recent work, “Despite our Dif
ferences,” in 2006.
Like the Indigo Girls, Cowboy Junkies
are known for soul-searching lyrics em
bedded in the simplicity of folk- and rock-
based melodies. Their first widely distrib
uted album, “The Trinity Session,” was
recorded in Toronto's Holy Trinity Church
in one night using only one microphone.
“Early 21 stCentury Blues"
(2005) revolved around the
themes of war and violence,
and featured a Yoko Ono-ap-
proved hip-hop version of John Lennon’s
"1 Don’t Want to Be a Soldier.”
“At the End of Paths Taken,” one of
the top I ntemet albums o f2007, explored
the complex relationships that consti
tute a family.
Tickets for the Indigo Girls-Cowboy
Junkies concert can be purchased at the
Oregon Zoo for $25 each. For more i nfor-
mation, visit Oregonzoo.org or call 503-
