Melissa Etheridge ‘One Way Out’ concert
In the late 1980s and 1990s, Melissa Etheridge was a rock ‘n’ roll rebel with confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals. In the 21st century, the singer/songwriter is known as a rock queen and icon. The East Tennessee State University Martin Center for the Arts will present an evening with Etheridge on her One Way Out tour, on Wednesday, April 27, in the center’s ETSU Foundation Grand Hall.
Etheridge will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. April 27 to share not only fan favorites, but also to spotlight cuts from her newest album, One Way Out, released in September, a collection of songs she wrote in the 1980s and ’90s, never-before released.
“She’s one of the finest and most passionate songwriters of the past 40 years,” says RockandBluesMuse.com. “Her vocals equal the power of her lyrics and she has the rare gift of being able to touch listeners’ hearts directly, often with a single line.”
Her original songs, such as “Bring Me Some Water,” “No Souvenirs” and “Ain’t It Heavy” – for which she won a Grammy® in 1992 – laid the groundwork for her legendary sound and style.
