Melissa Etheridge Performs at Civic Center of Greater Des Moines, 8/14
Female rock icon, Melissa Etheridge, performs at the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines on Saturday, August 14, at 8:00 pm. Melissa is also a mother and a cancer survivor, an outspoken cultural, political and human rights activist, a thought-provoker and a longtime truth-seeker. Her hits-"Bring Me Some Water," "Ain't It Heavy," "I'm the Only One," "Come to My Window," "I Want to Come Over," "Angels Would Fall," "I Run for Life" and "I Need to Wake Up" among them-have rewarded her with five Platinum albums, a pair of Grammys®, an Oscar®, an ASCAP Songwriter of the Year honor, and the ASCAP Founders Award.
Her new album "Fearless Love" embodies much of what Melissa Etheridge fans have come to anticipate from her -giant, soaring melodies, her bold, expressive voice, plenty of musical, lyrical and emotional drama-and it also embraces a freshness, with the appearance of mandolin and more piano.
Tickets for Melissa Etheridge go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 30, 2010 at the Civic Center Ticket Office, all Ticketmaster locations, charge-by-phone at (800) 745-3000 and online at CivicCenter.org. Tickets range in price from $38.50 - $103.50. All pricing includes a Building Restoration Fee of $3.50.
