Melissa Ferrick

April 28, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$12.83

Melissa Ferrick took up guitar in college and got their big break in 1991, when they were invited to open for Morrissey in Boston. Although Ferrick was a total unknown outside the local club scene, Morrissey liked them so much he took Ferrick along for the rest of the tour, including a stop at New York’s Madison Square Garden, that had contract-toting label execs tripping over themselves to get backstage first.

Regarded in the industry and by their peers as one of the most prolific and hardworking artists in the business, Melissa Ferrick still tours regularly playing throughout North America. They have shared the stage with Joan Armatrading, Weezer, Tegan and Sara, Mark Cohen, Paul Westerberg, Bob Dylan, John Hiatt, Ani DiFranco, k.d.Lang, Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin, and many others. [Their] songs are pensive and rocking, direct and oblique (Trouser Press). Reviewing a show, The Arts Fuse said: “… it makes sense that [their] first encore was ‘Welcome to My Life,’ which lists the people who are especially welcome at [their] shows: ‘All the hippies, all the gypsies, all the queers and everyone who loves music.’ ” Ferrick of course has a foot in all those camps, but the surprise glimpse of their hippie side was especially welcome.”
