Atlanta, Georgia – The Atlanta Pride Committee (APC) announced today that Amy Ray will headline Sunday’s line-up at the 2012 Atlanta Pride Festival.
Sunday’s Coca-Cola stage will feature the performance of the one-of-a-kind entertainer, Amy Ray. Fans will be treated to one of music’s most recognizable voices when she and her band bring to a close the musical entertainment portion of the festival.
The singer-songwriter and indie-label founder is best known as one-half of the Grammy-winning contemporary folk duo, the Indigo Girls. Ray has released four solo albums that have been met with critical acclaim. Fans familiar with her only as part of the Indigo Girls will be surprised to learn that Ray’s solo act is loud and raucous by comparison. Her sultry voice and stomping guitar licks are sure to entertain new, old, duo and solo fans alike.
Atlanta Pride Board Chair, Glen Paul Freedman stated, “We are thrilled to announce Amy Ray as our Sunday headliner!” Freedman continued, “The 2012 line-up is shaping up to be a great one and with the addition of Amy Ray, our Festival goers are sure to be entertained.”
Immediately following Ray’s performance will be the Festival favorite, the Cabaret Show. The complete 2012 entertainment line-up is scheduled to be released in September.
