Fantastic show
Thoroughly enjoyed the show and the venue. The rocksino was super easy to get in and out of. The show was big enough, yet still intimate. Sounded great and we really had a great time.

Crowd pleaser
Melissa was so personable, talked to crowd, etc. obviously enjoyed what she was doing. Love the side screens for an up close view even from the “cheap seats”.

An absolute wow!
The last time I saw her in concert was 15 years ago. This one was awesome! She rocked out for an hour and a half. Would definitely see her again.

Melissa Etheridge’s performance was amazing. The venue was great as well. You can not have a bad seat.

pure Melissa, but shorter than I expected.
She is one of the best live, and from the floor her prowess as a top line guitarist is even more evident, but her shows are starting to get repetitious, and at an Hour and a half, plus 20 minute encore, it felt short of what we paid for. This was my 8th time seeing her, my second time at this venue, but it seems like her shows are getting shorter. Love her, lover music, love her live, but thought there should have been more.

Bio
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.
