On Monday, June 29, alt-rock icon Melissa Etheridge will bring her soulful lyrics and smoky, Joplin-esque vocals to the stage at Door Community Auditorium as part of her popular This Is M.E. solo tour.
Since 1988, Melissa Etheridge has been bringing the deep emotion of confessional songwriting to bear on the heart and soul of rock and roll. In her almost-thirty-year career, Melissa Etheridge has released ten studio albums, campaigned tirelessly for numerous social causes, sold out countless tour dates, and won two Grammy Awards and an Oscar. At DCA, Melissa Etheridge will perform solo, playing hits like Come to My Window and I’m the Only One along with songs from her latest album, This Is M.E. — all delivered with the unflagging verve that endeared her to audiences in the first place.
On Etheridge’s solo tour, she will be playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, harmonica, and piano. She says, “I enjoy doing the solo shows… I love to dive into my catalogue of songs and bring a new freshness to my older material. It is such an intimate experience with the audience, and it is truly one of my favorite ways to perform.”
Since she released her eponymous debut record in 1988, Melissa Etheridge has sold over 15 million albums. On This Is M.E., Etheridge is as bracingly honest as she’s ever been, drawing on her Kansas upbringing with Take My Number and Stranger Road, and delving into the profoundly personal with Who Are You Waiting For.
Rolling Stone raves of Etheridge’s work, “Etheridge lets it all hang out with her commanding, crackling voice and deliberate guitar strums.”
Melissa Etheridge’s concert is made possible by presenting sponsors Cynthia Stiehl and the MMG Foundation, in celebration of the YMCA, as well as these supporting sponsors: Alexander’s Restaurant, The Cordon Family Foundation, and Ministry Door County Medical Center.
Melissa Etheridge will perform at DCA at 8 p.m. on Monday, June 29. Tickets for the concert range from $72 to $98. Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through the DCA box office, located at 3926 Highway 42 in Fish Creek.
