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 />
