About Melissa Etheridge courtesy Stiefel Theatre
Melissa Etheridge stormed onto the American rock scene in 1988 with the release of her critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, which led to an appearance on the 1989 Grammy Awards show. For several years, her popularity grew around such memorable originals as Bring Me Some Water, No Souvenirs, and Ain't It Heavy, for which she won a Grammy® in 1992.
Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am (1993). The collection featured the massive hits, I'm the Only One and Come to My Window, a searing song of longing that brought Etheridge her second Grammy® Award for Best Female Rock Performance. In 1995, Etheridge issued her highest-charting album, Your Little Secret, which was distinguished by the hit single, I Want to Come Over. Her astounding success that year led to Etheridge receiving the Songwriter of the Year honor at the ASCAP Pop Awards in 1996.
Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Etheridge has remained one of America’s favorite female singer-songwriters for more than two decades. Since her notable rise to fame, Etheridge has continued to release several critically acclaimed recordings including, This Is M.E., Memphis Rock & Soul, and The Medicine Show. On Sept. 17, 2021, Etheridge released her most recent studio project, titled One Way Out. The nine-track album is a collection of songs Etheridge wrote in the late '80s and early '90s that never made the cut...until now! The time is finally right, and fans will finally get a deeper glimpse to who Etheridge was then.
October 2022 saw Etheridge’s return to the theatre with her one-woman show, My Window – A Journey Through Life. The critically acclaimed, sold-out run premiered at New World Stages on Oct. 13, 2022, and has plans to move to Broadway in 2023.
