Brian Dunne Joins Indigo Girls for “Closer to Fine” (Encore) | Red Bank, NJ | June 10, 2026

A special encore moment at the Count Basie Center in Red Bank, New Jersey, as Brian Dunne joined the Indigo Girls for a performance of their classic anthem, Closer to Fine. As she welcomed Brian back to the stage, Amy Ray spoke warmly about Brian’s songwriting and the joy of having his music in her life. Hearing that appreciation from an artist whose work has influenced generations of songwriters made this encore feel less like an opener joining the encore and more like one generation of songwriters welcoming another into the song. Fun fact - Closer to Fine was released in 1989, the same year Brian Dunne was born. Recorded live at the Count Basie Center in Red Bank, New Jersey, on June 10, 2026.
