About

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.

  • Number 7 in the books!

    by Annette on 5/9/25The Dome - Virginia BeachRating: 4 out of 5

    I'm definitely a die hard ME fan, but I was disappointed how long it took her to come out after the opening act, which was Joss Stone. I love Joss's voice, but her songs weren't uplifting. Melissa was awesome as ever, but I don't think she performed long enough.

    Great show at new venue, The Dome-VB. Convenient parking garage onsite.

  • Great place needs more restroom access

    by Greeny on 5/8/25The Dome - Virginia BeachRating: 4 out of 5

    Fantastic so far except the bathrooms lack in numbers

  • Awesome show!

    by mds175 on 5/8/25The Dome - Virginia BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    The whole night was outstanding, from the ease of parking to the friendliness of all staff to two amazing sets from Joss Stone and Melissa Etheridge.

  • PROPER Rockstar

    by Mel on 5/6/25The Palace Theatre Albany - AlbanyRating: 5 out of 5

    Truly blown away by Joss Stone performing so flawlessly while being so pregnant. I could not have done that when I was! Melissa Etheridge is a PROPER rockstar who owned the stage and made the audience believe our city has been so important on her journey. She is a class act and a force to be reckoned with.

  • ME at The Palace Theater

    by TR on 5/4/25The Palace Theatre Albany - AlbanyRating: 5 out of 5

    My wife and I enjoyed it immensely! Joss Stone did well also.

  • Amazing Show!!!

    by Dani on 5/4/25The Palace Theatre Albany - AlbanyRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazing Show! Had seen Melissa Etheridge at The Palace Theatre in 1988! It was amazing seeing her there again Decades Later! She still rocks Hard! Seeing her opening act - Joss Stone was a dream come true! I’d been wanting to see Joss Stone since she first started in the music industry and I was able to check off something on that bucket list! Had the best time, met some really cool people and truly enjoyed the entire show. Well worth the money paid!

  • Rocked it

    by Keah on 5/4/25The Palace Theatre Albany - AlbanyRating: 5 out of 5

    Melissa was awesome! A few songs she sang bought me to tears Happy tears . I lost the love of my life we were together 22years and the memories just started coming back thank you Melissa.

  • Great Night!

    by CC on 5/2/25The Palace Theatre Albany - AlbanyRating: 5 out of 5

    Enjoyed both Melissa and Joss Stone. It was a lovely evening. Both artists were wonderful and played their hearts out. I was somewhat new to Joss, but have seen Melissa many times at many venues. Great Night!

  • Amazing talent, boilerplate performance

    by Not the only one on 5/2/25The Palace Theatre Albany - AlbanyRating: 3 out of 5

    I realize this is about Melissa Etheridge but I have to mention that Joss Stone who opened for her was spectacular, amazing voice, great backup singers and eclectic tasteful repertoire. I’ve seen Melissa Etheridge before and this was the least of her shows. Her set was shorter than usual, too scripted and forced. Her voice has retained its usual strong and soulful qualities. Her guitar playing was typically masterful, if uninspired. Unfortunately, many from the audience sang along to the more famous tunes making it impossible to hear the artist.
