Melissa Etheridge, one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters and musicians in blues and country-based rock, has announced a May 2024 Australian tour.
The Like The Way I Do singer and guitarist is returning to Australia on her I’m Not Broken tour, kicking off her run at Perth’s Riverside Theatre on Friday, 10 May, followed by the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Sunday, 12 May, Melbourne’s Forum on Wednesday, 15 May, and ends at Sydney’s Darling Harbour Theatre on Friday, 17 May.
Her upcoming Australian tour follows a recent, successful stint on Broadway: Melissa Etheridge: My Window, in which Variety dubbed the show a “memoir” and “confession” “worthy of applause”.
In addition to My Window, Etheridge recently released a new memoir, Talking To My Angels, that tracks her journey as an artist, mother, and survivor. It finds her embracing “success, love, joy, contentment, freedom, and release”.
Etheridge last toured in Australia in 2018 in a powerful co-headline tour with Sheryl Crow – she also performed at Bluesfest that year.
We said about her show, “Although the only guitarist on stage, Etheridge created a huge wall of sound with her 12-string guitar. Each song was lengthy and featured long instrumental sections and killer guitar solos - she joked that she could play a three-hour set with only five songs.”
