Alanis Morissette To Play Milwaukee’s Riverside October 5, 2008

Source: Pabst Theater
Location: Milwaukee, WI

The Riverside Theater is proud to welcome Alanis Morissette on Sunday, October 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Raised in Ottawa, Canada, and Germany, Alanis Morissette played piano, wrote songs and discovered a love of words and dance at an early age.  Using money from her role on the popular television show “You Can’t Do That On Television,” Morissette released an independent single “Fate Stay with Me.” Alanis followed in 1991 by MCA Canada and won the young singer-songwriter a Juno Award for Most Promising Female Artist.

1995 proved to be a break out year for 21-year old Morissette with the release of her first international album, Jagged Little Pill. Garnering four Grammy Awards, Pill sold a stunning 30 million copies worldwide on the strength of hits “You Oughta Know,” “Hand in My Pocket,” and “Ironic” and cemented Morissette’s status as a queen of the 90s’ burgeoning female singer-songwriter movement.

For her new album, Flavors Of Entanglement, Morissette pairs with electronica producer Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Seal, Björk). After the airy good cheer of 2004’s So-Called Chaos, the densely-textured Flavors sees Morissette – now in her 30s and fresh from a break-up with fiancé Ryan Reynolds – revisiting themes of heartbreak and emotional dissonance.

Tickets on sale July 25th at noon and are available at The Riverside Theater Box Office, www.riversidetheater.org and www.tickets.com, and (414) 286-3663 or (800) 511-1552.
