Wynonna Judd & Melissa Etheridge Bring Raised on Radio Tour to KettleHouse Amphitheater

Country and rock icons Wynonna Judd and Melissa Etheridge are joining forces for the Raised on Radio Tour, coming to KettleHouse Amphitheater on July 28, 2026.

A powerhouse voice in country music for more than four decades, Wynonna first rose to fame as one half of the legendary duo The Judds, helping define the sound of ’80s country with timeless hits. As a solo artist, she continued that legacy with beloved songs like “No One Else On Earth,” “Tell Me Why,” and “She Is His Only Need.” Known for her commanding stage presence and unmistakable voice, Wynonna remains one of the genre’s most celebrated performers.

Joining her is Grammy-winning rock singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge, whose raw, soulful style and fearless songwriting have made her one of rock’s most enduring artists. With iconic songs like “Come to My Window,” “I’m the Only One,” and “Bring Me Some Water,” Etheridge has spent decades captivating audiences with powerful performances and deeply personal lyrics. Etheridge has brought some incredible performances to KettleHouse Amphitheater over the years, and her return for this special tour is sure to be another unforgettable night (photos).

With the release of her 1992 self-titled solo debut, Wynonna emerged as a singular force in American music. Beyond the five Grammy Awards, the multi-platinum albums and sold-out tours, the country/soul vocalist built on the Appalachian traditionalism that defined The Judds to create a world where Top 5 dance/club hits were as possible as being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Having practically grown up as America’s favorite musical daughter, Wynonna matured into a woman who embraced how life is filled with peaks and valleys, great thrills, and heavy disappointment. Those realities informed her 5-times platinum Wynonna and nearing 3-times platinum Tell Me Why, the albums that gave voice to every human being emerging into their own adulthood with joy in their heart. Beyond the groundbreaking music she and her mother created as The Judds, Wynonna has grown into her once-in-a-generation vocal prowess with an ease that made people clamor to her. “No One Else On Earth,” “Tell Me Why,” “She Is His Only Need,” “Girls With Guitars,” and “I Saw The Light” set the next chapter in motion for the girl from Ashland, Kentucky who became a global superstar.

“I chose to survive,” Melissa Etheridge sings on “Being Alive,” the powerful, exuberant opening song of the Academy Award and Grammy Award winning artist’s 17th studio album, Rise. She then takes a pause, the flurry of her guitar and her bandmates’ boisterous sounds fading out, before she practically shouts, with unbridled joy: “God I love being alive! “The words say so much. But in that pause — just a few seconds long — it’s as if she’s looking at everything that has happened in her life in the time since she last released an album of new material, 2019’s The Medicine Show, and with it everything that is to come on this remarkable, emotional mosaic of songs. And it’s a lot. Co-produced by Etheridge and Shooter Jennings (whose production credits include Brandi Carlisle, Tanya Tucker, Charlie Crockett and, of course, his father Waylon Jennings) and featuring her sharp band of guitarist and keyboard player Max Hart, drummer Eric Gardner and bassist Erik Kertes, Rise soars as an intimate and richly realized collection.
