About Passim Presents Melissa Ferrick

The Trustees is collaborating with Passim—the Cambridge-based folk music nonprofit—for several concerts this year, bringing Passim’s renowned tunes to special places across Massachusetts.

This show, featuring Melissa Ferrick, is the second of two special shows in the barn at the storied Crane Estate in Ipswich.

Indie? Alternative? Folk? Punk? Melissa Ferrick won’t be labeled. A songwriter with 18 albums spanning 30 years, she is celebrated for her raw vulnerability, wit, and electrifying live performances. Every lyric in her immense catalog is an invitation to confession or catharsis. From touring with Morrissey and Tegan and Sara to teaching at Northeastern University, working as a booking agent at Paladin Artists, and earning an Ed.M. from Harvard, Ferrick’s relentless reinvention has prepared her to serve as a mentor and secured her reputation as a positive and inspiring force in the independent music community. She continues to challenge conventions, reinforcing her genre-defying legacy with each new project.
