In keeping with the political and social themes Etheridge addresses on her latest album, The Awakening, the singer plans to give her 48-city summer tour of midsize theaters — her first in two years — an element of consciousness-raising. Over a 165-minute set that mixes old hits like "I'm the Only One" and new songs, Etheridge will drop in observations about war, religion and peace: "A couple of years ago, I started saying things between songs that were more than just the little rock & roll things I used to say. People seemed to be moved. There's a reason I called this the Revival Tour."
