Melissa Etheridge performs at YouTube Theater on July 26, 2024 in Inglewood, California. “And I’ve gone from, you know, ‘Oh, I’m a big fan of yours’ to then it was, ‘My mom’s such a big fan of yours.'” “And the last couple years I’ve started to get, ‘My grandma’s a big fan of yours,'” she laughs. But she doesn’t just have fans of all ages; Melissa says sometimes they all come to see her together. “Sometimes I get the … whole family showing up: the kids, the grandkids, the grandma, you know, they’re all there,” she says.
