After the 61st GRAMMY Awards, Etheridge and three-time GRAMMY winner Brandi Carlile engaged in some mutual admiration on Twitter. Etheridge first tweeted that she was proud, and Carlile replied, "Thank YOU! Without trailblazers like you, this chicken farmer from WA wouldn't have believed last night was possible." Etheridge responded, "Let's do it again some time." referencing Carlile's background vocals on the title track to Etheridge's 2004 album Lucky.
"The Medicine Show deals with universal themes of renewal, reconciliation, reckoning, compassion and, most profoundly, healing," Etheridge said. "I cannot wait to share new songs with you, I hope you'll join me."
Etheridge is currently on international tour and will return to the U.S. in March for the Medicine Show Tour. Tickets are available on her website.
