Emily Saliers

Emily Saliers was born on Jul 22, 1963 in USA. Emily Saliers's big-screen debut came with Boys on the Side directed by Herbert Ross in 1995.

Emily Saliers was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and moved to Atlanta with her family while in elementary school. Like her fellow Indigo Girl Amy Ray, Emily began playing guitar at an early age. Although they had known each other for several years, Emily and Amy did not begin playing together until high school; their partnership has lasted until the present day. Amy and Emily adopted the name "Indigo Girls" in 1985. They were signed to Epic Records in 1988 and their major albums to date are: "Strange Fire" (independely released in 1987 and re-released by Epic in 1989), "Indigo Girls" (1989), "Nomads*Indians*Saints" (1990), "Rites of Passage" (1992), "Swamp Ophelia" (1994), "1200 Curfews" (1995) and "Shaming of the Sun" (1997). The album "Indigo Girls" won the Grammy Award for "Best Contemporary Folk Recording" in 1989. Indigo Girls appear in the movie "Boys on the Side" as a bar band in Tucson, Arizona; this is their only film appearance to date.
