Search long and hard, but it’s doubtful you’ll find these critters sitting in plain sight, though they are always nearby. These animals prefer the secrecy of their surroundings and adapt their coloring or behavior so that they blend seamlessly with the environments that they call home. Visit Anniston Museum to learn all about which critters are hiding just beyond view, and why they don’t want to be seen! Visitors will learn about camouflaged animals from a variety of habitats, from Floridian swamps to the treelines of Alabama. Program is included in museum admission. Seating is limited.

Sep 23    An Evening with Melissa Etheridge
Melissa Etheridge is one of rock music’s great female icons. Her critically acclaimed eponymous debut album was certified double platinum. Etheridge’s popularity built around such memorable songs as “Bring Me Some Water,” “No Souvenirs” and “Ain’t It Heavy” for which she won her first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal. Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am, featuring the massive hits “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window,” a searing song of longing that brought her a second Grammy. The six times platinum album spent more than two and a half years on the album chart. Etheridge is also an Oscar winner for Best Original Song in 2007. In 2011 Melissa made her Broadway debut as St. Jimmy in Green Day’s rock opera, American Idiot, where she replaced Billie Joe Armstrong for one week, and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Etheridge is scheduled to release Memphis Rock and Soul, a new album honoring Stax Records, in fall of 2016. She recently completed recording at Royal Studios in Memphis on what will be her first album since 2014’s critically lauded This Is M.E.
