Melissa Etheridge Announces U.S. Tour and Concert DVD

Melissa Etheridge, who recently spoke with Wade Rouse on the release of This Is M.E., has big news for fans of her live performance. (Which is to say, everyone.)

The singer hits the road this summer, sharing the bill with a couple other badass women: Joan Jett and the Debbie Harry–fronted Blondie. The 50-city tour kicks off June 10 at the Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga, TN, and plays through August 30. (Full list of dates below; ticket information available at melissaetheridge.com/tour.)

But there’s more!

On June 9, the singer-songwriter will release a concert DVD titled A Little Bit Of Me: Live In L.A. Etheridge and band were in top form for their performance at downtown LA’s Orpheum Theater, and the show had her performing new and classic hits, and featuring special guest Delta Rae. The film will include bonus features (interviews with Melissa and her band, special guests Delta Rae, plus “Backstage Pass,” a behind-the-scenes look at the Orpheum performance, as well as photo gallery), and it will be available on CD, Blu-ray/CD, and DVD/CD, and via a digital version and deluxe digital edition exclusively on iTunes.
