Housing Works

An intimate benefit evening with Amy Ray.

For over 25 years, Amy Ray has been renowned as one half of Grammy-award winning folk duo the Indigo Girls. She’s also an activist, label owner (her label, Daemon Records, has been going now for two decades) and a tireless innovator, challenging herself and continuing to grow as an artist. With her debut solo album, Stag (2001), Ray turned in her acoustic guitar for a Les Paul and delivered a critically acclaimed album that showed her love of punk and rock and roll. With her succeeding solo albums, Prom and Didn’t It Feel Kinder, Ray continued to explore her voice and stretch herself as an artist; she collaborated with such kindred spirits as members of the Butchies (who are currently part of her recording and touring band), Brandi Carlile, and many others. Lung of Love, out on February 28 on Daemon Records, is a milestone for Ray – it’s her most accessible, universal album to date. And catchy to boot. It’s also the first time in her career that she’s ever co-written with anyone — her producer Greg Griffith. (In the Indigo Girls, she and Emily Saliers write separately and bring their songs to the studio.) From her great power pop single, “Glow,” to a come-to-Jesus throwdown, “The Rock is My Foundation,” Ray and her guests, including Carlile, Jim James and Lindsay Fuller, deliver a batch of songs that sound like an instant classic.

Lindsay Fuller opens. Lindsay Fuller’s haunting Southern Gothic songwriting is unlike any other in her genre. Born in Alabama, the Seattle-based artist is the antithesis of the typical ethereal songstress. Her storytelling has been compared to Flannery O’Connor’s, while her voice to Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch – delicate and dark, “a burnished, soulful trill that sounds like the frame of a beautiful old church that’s about to collapse on itself” (The Examiner).
