Grammy and Oscar Award-winning singer Melissa Etheridge is coming to Edmonton. The rocker will take the stage at the River Cree Resort and Casino on March 26, 2027. Etheridge made a name for herself on the American music scene in 1988 when she released her debut album. She won her first Grammy in 1992 and scored an Oscar for Best Song in 2007 for a song written for the Al Gore Documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Etheridge came out as a lesbian in 1993 when it was still taboo in the entertainment industry. She’s a cancer survivor, diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. Her most recent studio album was released in March, which coincided with a nomination to the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame. Tickets for the show in Edmonton go on sale on Friday.
