Alanis Morissette, who vaulted to singer-songwriter stardom in the mid-1990s with a frank, angry, truth-telling album called “Jagged Little Pill,” will play an acoustic show at ilani on Sept. 16.
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday. Tickets are $69, according to ilani’s website.
“Jagged Little Pill” won five Grammy awards, including Album of the Year in 1996, and became one of the biggest-selling albums of all time.
It stopped many listeners and critics cold with raw expressions of female sexuality and rage that had never climbed the charts before; it predicted the current #MeToo movement in songs like “Right Through You,” a bitter complaint about sleazy music executives who are interested in something other than female artistic talent, and “You Oughta Know,” in which Morissette lets fly very explicit fury at a lover who “replaced” her.
Morissette has released nine more albums since then, along with soundtracks for films and even monthly podcasts focused on women and spiritual wellness.
Her “Jagged Little Pill” album was translated into a rock musical that did well in pre-Broadway previews this summer, and now she’s heading out on an acoustic tour.
