Melissa Etheridge began a two-day run at Fallsview Casino Thursday evening. With an arsenal of songs to choose from she delivered one her finest sets this reviewer has seen. Backed by a stellar band that included drummer Brian Delaney, bassist David Santos and keyboardist/guitarist Max Hart they delivered a solid show even with Etheridge not at 100 percent. Her guitar tech brought her hot lemon water a few times during the show to aid her through. IF she hadn’t mentioned this to the crowd one may not have even known. Continue reading →
