Melissa Etheridge Returning to Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center, 6/21

Downtown York's historic Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center announces the return of award-winning rock icon Melissa Etheridge on Sunday, June 21 at 7:30 p.m. for her This is M.E. solo performance. Tickets are on sale now to Strand-Capitol members and go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, May 5 at 10:00 a.m.

Etheridge will take the stage to perform songs from her new album "This is M.E.," as well as some of her greatest hits, like "Come to My Window," "I'm The Only One" and "I Want To Come Over."

Recording the new album proved an inspiring, electrifying experience for Etheridge - the best kind of challenge. These are songs right from her heart - the frisky flirtation of "Take My Number" and mystery-trip "Stranger Road" among those drawing on scenes and settings of her Kansas upbringing. "Who Are You Waiting For" closes the album on the most intimate, emotional, personal, lump-in-the-throat note of her entire career. It's the song she wrote for and debuted at her wedding to Linda Wallem.

"I haven't been this excited about making music and creating in ages," Etheridge says. "Song after song was a great experience."

Known for her iconic voice, profound lyrics and riveting stage presence, Etheridge will share personal stories about her remarkable journey through life and the inspiration behind some of her most beloved songs.
