Melissa Etheridge 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. Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Etheridge has remained one
of America’s favorite female singer-songwriters for more than two decades.
