Melissa Ferrick brings her fall “the truth is” tour with Ani DiFranco to 9:30 Club (815 V St., N.W.) Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Ferrick frequently explores her sexuality through her music and is known for using lesbian themes. Her talent led Morrissey to invite her to be the opening act on his tour. She has founded her own record label and has more than 16 albums and EPs to date, playing almost every instrument herself.

Tickets are $40. For more details and to purchase tickets, visit 930.com.
