  • Bio

    Michelle Shocked - traveller, troubadour, a “picker-poet,”as they say in Texas. As a young feminist, she left Texas to travel, Kerouac-style, and was caught up in Reagan-era grassroots politics. Her musical career was ignited by a bootleg recording made around a Kerrville Folk Festival campfire on a Sony Walkman. Released in England as ‘The Texas Campfire Tapes’ without Shocked’s authority, its success abroad enticed Mercury Records to offer the newcomer a recording contract. Now a 20+ year music business veteran, she owns and controls 13+ album masters and over 120 original compositions. She recently launched Roadworks, a 5-year tour schedule of 42+ cities annually. Roadworks is a concept tour to develop awareness of a collaboration project with visual artist David Willardson. Together, they will present 'Indelible Women,' a series of portraits (in song and on canvas) of icons including Audrey, Amelia, Georgia, Billie, Ella, Anne, Virginia and Frida
