MELISSA ETHERIDGE Melissa Etheridge will be performing a one-night only event at The Orpheum Theatre in downtown L.A. as part of her current “Fearless Love” tour. The openly gay performer, who musically proclaimed that “Yes I Am” (in terms of her sexuality) circa 1993, is on tour in promotion of her 11th studio album, and is guaranteed to rock the night away with new material from “Fearless Love.” While it’s more than a safe bet that no set list would be complete, for artist and audience alike, without such staples as “Come To My Window,” “I’m the Only One” and “Like the Way I Do” being thrown into the musical mix for very good measure. The Orpheum Theatre is located at 842 S. Broadway, and tickets can be yours by typing
