SONGWRITER MELISSA<br />

FERRICK HITS THE<br />

FIREHOUSE STAGE<br />

Growing up in Ipswich in the<br />

70’s, Melissa played the violin and<br />

went to jazz clubs with her father.<br />

She learned guitar in elementary<br />

and started writing songs in high<br />

school. The rest, as they say, is<br />

history. Widely regarded as one of<br />

the most prolific and hardworking<br />

artists in the business, Ferrick has<br />

released <strong>17</strong> albums over the past 25<br />

years and shows no signs of slowing<br />

down. “I’ve been a fan of Melissa<br />

Ferrick since I first saw her open for<br />

Ani DiFranco in 2013.” Firehouse<br />

Executive Director says. “Her<br />

songwriting is some of the best in<br />

the business and she always puts on<br />

a great show. And the fact that she<br />

lives in Newburyport is the icing<br />

on the cake.” Signed to Atlantic<br />

Records in 1992 at the age of 21,<br />

she released her first two albums<br />

on Atlantic before moving on to<br />

W.A.R. Records. In 2000, Ferrick<br />

launched her own label, Right On<br />

Records. Having shared the stage<br />

with Morrissey, Marc Cohn, John<br />

Hiatt, Weezer, Tegan & Sara, Bob<br />

Dylan, and many others, Melissa<br />

Ferrick is the voice of a generation.<br />

Tickets are $25 for non-members,<br />

$22 for members, students, and<br />

seniors. The Firehouse’s 20<strong>16</strong>/20<strong>17</strong><br />
