It's April 19th. Welcome in. This is Music News Today, where music meets AI. I'm Corey with The Story. Indigo Girls dropped a real talk video this week about Emily Salier's voice struggles. She's 62 and got hit with two movement disorders. Server-cold Estonia, with Torta Colis, which twists her head and shakes it, an essential tremor that messes with her, larynx, jaw, diaphragm, and adds unwanted vibrato. No cure means her singing won't snap back to the old days. They're owning it as part of aging and pushing forward with their tour. Amy raised right there supporting, and their tweaking songs with new arrangements, extra harmonies from bandmates like Lucy Wainwright Roche, and digital tools from sound engineers to keep everything tight. Fans and fellow artists lit up social media with love. Sarah Borella said their gift goes beyond bodies, Brandy Carlyle called them heroes, and vowed to sing every word back louder, while Chelly Wright and Jennifer Nettles praised
their courage and grace. The tour announced three weeks back, kicks off April 24th in Athens, Ohio, hit spots like Los Angeles on May 14th and Raff September. 13th in Evanston, Illinois, they'll even open for Brandy Carlyle May 29th at the Gorge in Washington. Emily and Amy are grinding to deliver their best, blending voices and leaning on the community that stuck with them through activism and albums. Fans get it offering grace as they keep sharing that core message of love and perseverance on stage.
