SUMMARY:Melissa Ferrick
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \n30 years into a prolific career as a genre and gender-defying songwriter\, Melissa Ferrick continues to disrupt normative categorization. Indie\, Alternative\, Folk\, Punk….Melissa Ferrick won’t be labeled. With disarming wit and raw vulnerability\, every lyric in Ferrick’s immense catalog is an invitation to confession or catharsis.  \nTo commemorate its 25th anniversary\, Ferrick has re-recorded her critically acclaimed album Everything I Need. “Just me and the guitar using live takes and no overdubs\,” Ferrick captures the emotional intensity that has become a signature of her live performances. \nFerrick’s impact reaches far beyond her music. As one of the few openly queer artists in the 1990s\, she navigated and challenged the sexism\, homophobia\, and rigid gender expectations of the music industry. Her trailblazing journey not only paved the way for future generations of artists but also created a space where they could express their identities and be celebrated on their own terms. Most recently\, Melissa launched Drive Music Agency (DMA)\, a booking agency and consulting company designed to help launch new acts in the indie scene. She is also a Professor of Practice at Northeastern University\, teaching courses in music business\, songwriting\, creative entrepreneurship\, demo recording and production\, and the psychology of creativity. Melissa was an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music from 2013 to 2019 and holds an Ed.M. from Harvard University.  \nAs she continues to challenge conventions\, Melissa Ferrick continues to reinforce her genre-defying legacy with each new project.
