Iconic rocker returns to Carmel on May 3

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. 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.

Now, she will make her return to Carmel at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 3 when she plays the Payne & Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts.

Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Etheridge has remained one of America’s favorite female singers for more than three decades.
