Backed by a three-piece band, Etheridge performed rocking renditions of such 1980s and '90s hits as "Bring Me Some Water," "I'm the Only One," "Come to My Window," and "I Want to Come Over" before a boisterous audience filled with many of her LGBTQ+ admirers.
From the evening's outset, the singer/guitarist said that she was in the mood to "play some of my personal favorites." This led to some rarely performed tunes such as the riveting ballad "What Happens Tomorrow" (off 2007's The Awakening) done alone on piano, and a sizzling, bluesy cover of the Albert King-popularized "Born Under a Bad Sign" (from 2016's MEmphis Rock and Soul).
"The Shadow of a Black Crow" was written for Etheridge's son Beckett Cypheridge, who succumbed to opioid addiction in 2020. Watch the animated lyric video HERE. Then there was the rousing "A Burning Woman," where Etheridge solicited some call and response audience action.
Additionally, the musician just announced her Spring 2025 jaunt with Joss Stone. All shows are on sale now. For details, see melissaetheridge.com.
