OUTscene: The Seattle Lesbian's Exclusive Interview with the Indigo Girls' Amy Ray!

Gay rights activist and advocate of the earth Amy Elizabeth Ray knows a thing or two about the perils and promises that occur within the music industry. Being one half of the celebrated all-female folk-rock duo the Indigo Girls [Emily Saliers makes up the other half of the team], the Georgia-born singer/songwriter delights in sharing her wisdom with up-and-coming acts like out-lesbian singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile and lesbian favorite Jill Hennessy.

The critical object that sets the 25-plus year musician apart from other musical acts out there today is that she is humble and kind in her sharing. She collects musical knowledge from other artists just as much as she hands it out. It’s a mutual love session that continues to enhance both parties and has nothing to do with record sales or popularity. Ray doesn’t speak just to be heard. She raises her voice because she feels the social responsibility to help improve the communities and lives around her effervescent sphere. Amy Ray is a tough chick with a heart of gold and millions of fans to back her up.
