Saliers recently announced medical conditions that affect her vocals
Fortitude and passion. What else can you say is driving Emily Saliers of The Indigo Girls? In a recent video statement, Saliers and creative partner Amy Ray shared that the former is dealing with a pair of incurable conditions — cervical dystonia and an essential tremor — that have affected the Connecticut native’s ability to sing clearly and constantly.
The message was more of a heads-up about what concertgoers can expect at live shows. Saliers shared that she’s getting a combination of therapeutic massage, physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and Botox shots, along with working with a vocal coach skilled at addressing this condition to address these physical obstacles.
