Sweet Melissa

You should really check out Melissa Ferrick.

Don't just buy a CD, or download her stuff off the internet. See her live. It's the only way to experience the raw, metallic, singing of her guitar and the soul-bearing, heart-wrenching, uplifting poetry of her songs. I've seen her three times, and her performance has blown me away every time. She's a spitfire for sure...known to shout explitives to an obnoxious or rudely inattentive audience, but she always puts on a great show. She may be unpredictable at times, but she is--in her own words--a "f*$#!ing professional."

Melissa plays a lot of smaller venues, folk, pride, and womyn's music festivals, and you can always find her performance dates at www.melissaferrick.com.
