Leavenworth native Melissa Etheridge will return to the Sunflower State this summer for a show at Wichita’s Orpheum Theatre.

Etheridge, a two-time Grammy Award-winner, rose to popularity in the early 1990s, with hits like “Bring Me Some Water,” “No Souvenirs,” and “Ain’t It Heavy,” which won her her first Grammy Award in 1993.

Two years later, Etheridge won a second Grammy Award for her single, “Come to My Window.”

Most recently, Etheridge released her album, “Memphis Rock & Soul,” last year.
