Melissa Etheridge brings her RISE tour to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. She’s performing songs from her 17th studio album alongside the hits you already know by heart (“Come to My Window,” “I’m the Only One”), and if the album itself is any indication, this is a show with some real emotional weight behind it. RISE, co-produced with Shooter Jennings and featuring her road-tested band, covers a lot of ground: a Chris Stapleton duet, a honky-tonk singalong, and a deeply personal song about losing her son in 2021. Bring a friend, a willingness to cry a little, and your knowledge of every chorus. Tickets are available through Mayo PAC at 100 South St.
