Ruth Eckerd Hall announces Alanis Morissette
10/16/2008 - 10/16/2008

Ruth Eckerd Hall
1111 N. McMullen Booth Rd.
Clearwater, FL 33759-3219
Alanis Morissette will return to Ruth Eckerd Hall for the first time since her sold-out concert in 2005. A dozen years after the breakthrough debut of Jagged Little Pill (You Oughta Know, Head Over Feet, Hand in My Pocket, Ironic), an album which earned four Grammys®, sold 30 million records and spawned a dedicated worldwide fan base, Alanis Morissette remains not only an enduringly popular artist, but one whose success stems from a fierce commitment to authenticity and, to an equal extent, vulnerability. Her next album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart with record-setting first-week sales of nearly 470,000 copies. For more information call 727-791-7400.
