The Indigo Girls have had a lot to say since they released their first big album in 1989, and they’ve said it, powerfully, through music. Hits like “Closer to Fine,” “Kid Fears” and “Galileo” delivered thoughtful messages through catchy harmonies that made Emily Saliers and Amy Ray one of the most popular folk duos in the country. With their advocacy for immigration reform, LGBTQ equality and other causes, they’re heirs to earlier folk legends like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Joan Baez.

These days, they’re touring in support of their latest record, “Look Long,” and plan to visit Cedar Falls for a concert on Nov. 1 at the University of Northern Iowa’s Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center. The singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Deb Talan opens the show.
