Melissa Etheridge in Concert
For more than three decades, Melissa Etheridge has been one of folk-rock's most resonant voices, offering comfort and solace to listeners while also serving as a defiant beacon of hope. The Kansas-born Etheridge initially studied music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, dropping out to pursue her dreams while playing sets in Southern California's lesbian bars. Etheridge's 1988 self-titled debut—which she recorded in four days—went double-platinum and was hailed widely by critics for its stripped-down take on roots rock, which recalled fellow Midwesterner John Cougar Mellencamp while also channeling the passion of Janis Joplin. Its blues-tinged single "Bring Me Some Water" was nominated for the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy, one of 15 nominations she's received over the course of her career.
One of her two wins was in honor of "Come to My Window," a single from her fourth album ‘Yes I Am’ that was released after she came out of the closet in 1993. That jangly anthem for self-acceptance, and its stunning video starring Juliette Lewis, remains one of the 1990s' most beloved singles; in 2001 when she performed it at The Concert For New York City the audience happily filled in after a mic glitch left her inaudible, while in 2017 she celebrated Independence Day with a stirring performance fronting the famed orchestra The Boston Pops.
Etheridge's career has been a testament to tenacity and honesty, with her rich, raspy voice making her forthright lyrics land even more powerfully. The bluesy, sultry "Window" follow-up "I'm the Only One" peaked at No. 8 on the Hot 100; her 2006 song "I Need to Wake Up," which accompanied the environmentally conscious film ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ became the first song from a documentary to win the Best Original Song Oscar, and in 2014 she launched ME Records, her own record label, through which she's released projects like her Stax Records salute ‘MEmphis Rock and Soul.’ On her forthcoming tour of the U.S. and Europe, Etheridge is celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘Yes I Am’—and a career defined by a willingness to say "yes" to her artistic and personal desires.
Jewell and Melissa rocked Skyla stadium with their fabulous performance and engagement with the audience
Melissa and Jewel put on fantastic performances!! I have seen Melissa twice now live and she puts everything she has into her shows and is just the best. The venue was good, the only suggestion I have for them is to put more fans out to cool off the audience because it was hot and muggy.
Went to Jewel and Melissa Etheridge concert in Charlotte, NC on September 21, 2024. Jewel was great, played her hits and other assorted songs as well. A short intermission and Melissa Etheridge came out and Rocked The House Down played the hits to Burning Woman. Wished the music could have lasted all night.
I have seen Melissa many times since the 90's. The first time was with my friend Janet. I had her up on my shoulders and we were up against the stage. Melissa was playing Like The Way I Do, and Janet was reaching for her and said, "touch me, touch me."Melissa squatted down with guitar in play and said, "I can't, I'm busy."Janet melted off my shoulders. Three nights ago, Sept 21 Melissa was playing that same song and finished her duet drum solo, she walked to the edge of the stage and handed me a drumstick. This time I melted. What an amazing show. I just love her. Until next time; be well Melissa.
A perfect evening with Melissa Etheridge and Jewel. The venue was new to me. I am now actively looking for shows at this venue.
I've always wanted to see Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls live and this concert completely blew me away. I got to see my idols perform together on stage in such a beautiful outdoor venue–it was truly a dream come true. The venue at Bethel Woods was fantastic and the atmosphere was simply magical as the whole audience stood on their feet to sing and clap along with the musicians. Hands down the best concert ever.
Melissa puts on a great show, so good on the guitar, and her vocals are powerful! Just a great performance. Loved seeing the Indigo Girls too.
Awesome concert and we met the main performer- Melissa Etheridge ! So great
Very well run establishment with excellent food options. I'm GF, dairy free and vegetarian and even I could eat a great meal! Melissa Etheridge put on a strong performance and the Indigo Girls were great. We had a fabulous time. Planning on going to Peace, Love and Pumpkins now that we've seen the venue...will be a great fall trip
Amazing experience besides having my niece and girlfriend being there Melissa was outrageous, wonderful talent & amazing musician Thank you Melissa
