One fact cannot be disputed: Melissa Ferrick puts on one hell of a live show. She's fierce and funny, outspoken and vulnerable, passionate and real. The emotional honesty of her first-person lyrics, the force of her vocal delivery, and the disciplined fury of her musicianship connects her to her audience with confidence and grace. Signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-'90s, she was part of a new wave of alt-rock females that included artists such as Liz Phair and PJ Harvey, who sang about womanhood with sharp, unchecked honesty. She left Atlantic and signed with MPress in 2011, and her debut album hit Billboard's Heatseekers Album Charts, won an International Acoustic Music Award (IAMA) and garnered two Independent Music Award (IMA) nominations. Her songs tackle everything from the intensely personal to the political, remaining open about her personal life and issues important to her as a lesbian.
