Melissa Etheridge is performing at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on Monday, September 29, 2025.
Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Etheridge has remained one of America’s favorite female singers for more than two decades. She 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.
In February 2007, Etheridge celebrated a career milestone with a victory in the Best Song category at the Academy Awards for “I Need to Wake Up”, written for An Inconvenient Truth, the Al Gore documentary on global warming.
As a performer and songwriter, Etheridge has shown herself to be an artist who has never allowed “inconvenient truths” to keep her down. Earlier in her recording career, she acknowledged her sexual orientation when it was considered less than prudent to do so. And, in October 2004, Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer – a health battle that, with her typical tenacity, she won. Despite losing her hair from chemotherapy, she appeared on the 2005 Grammy telecast to sing “Piece of My Heart” in tribute to Janis Joplin. By doing so, she gave hope to many women afflicted with the disease.</p>
