Melissa Etheridge

October 1, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$48 – $107
  • « Peggy Haas Howell Organ Recital
  • Watercolors Express »

Melissa Etheridge, the iconic American rock singer-songwriter, will bring her signature raw energy and powerful vocals to our venue on October 1st. From her 1988 self-titled debut to Grammy-winning hits like “Come to My Window” and “Ain’t It Heavy,” Etheridge has carved out a distinct place in rock history with her deeply personal lyrics and smoky, passionate voice. Over the decades, she’s never shied away from bold truths—whether singing about longing and love or bravely performing at the Grammys during her battle with breast cancer. Her breakthrough album Yes I Am became a defining moment in 90s rock, with anthems that continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.

Still a creative force, Etheridge has remained in the spotlight with critically praised releases such as The Medicine Show and One Way Out, and through her advocacy and activism via The Etheridge Foundation. Her recent Broadway debut with My Window and her powerful 2024 Paramount+ docuseries I’m Not Broken showcase a multidimensional artist whose journey is as inspiring as her music. This October, don’t miss the chance to witness a legend whose voice, vision, and courage continue to move generations.
