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.

    by Patty on 4/8/24Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks

    The tickets were emailed a few days ahead of time——making entry seamless. The venue was small and the seats were all great. Melissa was awesome as always.

    I have seen Melissa many times before yet. This was another five star show. I hope she comes back to the same venue it’s close to home. Apparently it’s close to her home as well so it’s perfect was a lot of fun.

    Awesome show. Melissa Ethridge Rocks

    by Jf23 on 4/8/24Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks

    Had a great time at the Melissa Ethridge concert Friday night. She played several of my favorites from her Yes I Am album, and many others that were equally awesome. Besides switching bewttween several guitars, Melissa played the piano, harmonica and drums. Thanks for a great show Melissa.

    Fabulous

    by Kaufygirl on 4/8/24Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks

    We could not have enjoyed the concert more. Melissa‘s voice was absolutely beautiful, clear and as strong as ever. I had no idea she was so talented in playing so many instruments. I will absolutely be going next time she’s in town. Fabulous in every way!!!!

    Fantastic

    by Lisa on 4/8/24Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks

    I really love her music - she's just fantastic. A pure musician, singer, and lyricist. I enjoyed every minute. Just wish she had played one song though: "I will never be the same"- that was the one song missing for me.

    Just Magnificent!

    by Vielka on 4/8/24Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks

    Before going to the concert, I had heard a couple of her blockbuster songs and recognized her name and face because she is so famous. I went with two friends who are lifelong fans. From the moment she stepped onto the stage I was converted into an instant fan. Not only is she a great musician, but she is a true entertainer. I can't believe I have denied myself of her music for so many years. What an awesome experience!!!

    It was a great show. Melissa was at the end of a tour and playing close to home. She had lots of friends in the audience and she really belted it out for us. A truly tremendous performance.

    Fantastic!

    by Vickie on 4/8/24Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks

    This show far exceeded my expectations! Seeing Melissa Etheridge was one of those concert "bucket list"items so I had to go. Her voice is still amazing, and she really hit it out of the park with the excellent guitar playing and awesome backup band that rocked the house. She played every single favorite of mine from the first two albums, and it was everything I could have hoped for. She has a personality and ease with the audience that made me fall in love with her and the music all over again. After the concert, I immediately bought tickets to her July show because I want more! I can see why some people follow her around. With money and time, I would too!

    Melissa Rocks!

    by MtnBykGirl on 4/8/24Fred Kavli Theatre- B of A Performing Arts Center,Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks

    I’ve been to around 15 of Melissa’s concerts over the last 35 years and she always puts on an amazing show! Melissa’s raspy voice, 12-string guitar, piano & drum playing are over the top! I’ll be back when she comes to town next.

    Melissa never disappoints. She performed an amazing show! Loved the venue for the closeness it provided to the stage for incredible view of the stage and Melissa as she performed. I had a wonderful time and would definitely love to see her again in a small venue so close to home.
