Getting to experience, Melissa Ferrick play live is always a joy. I’ve been going to her shows for 25-30 years now and it is still a treat. Melissa is a phenomenal and extremely talented singer/songwriter.
There is nothing like when she goes on a tangent with her guitar. If you have not had a chance to see Melissa play live I highly recommend getting out to see her.
