Wanted to comment on Rose Polenzani, so I'm delurking to the list for only
the second time.

You are right... Rose opened for the Girls on their last tour, and she is
also opening for the Girls for their current tour (acoustic duo tour).
Rose's 2nd album is on Daemon Records (the Girls record company). Perhaps
this doesn't make her well known, but nondescript is a harsh ruling to give
to this talented artist, IMHO. Course, being connected to the Indigo Girls
doesn't necessarly mean good things to everyone, so...

I did get to see her, when she opened for OtR in St. Louis in March. I was
greatly impressed with her lyrics - I found them moving and sensitive, and a
perfect setup for OtR. Rose's soft voice, combined with her tendency to
suddenly let loose with a "belt," was stunning and seemed to cast a spell
over the room (though missing two people near the back that insisted on
talking through everything - even OtR's set).
Admittedly, I did like Rose an awful lot, so my opinion is coloured
appropriately. But regardless of like or dislike, I think Rose is unique and
gifted. I hope that her friendship with Amy Ray continues, and I am grateful
the Indigo Girls have given Rose the chance that she needs.
On a lighter note, I give Rose credit for sticking with her last name,
despite the difficult spelling. :)
