Michelle Shocked
“An immensely likable artist, one whose music combines biting wit, sharp social commentary and a strong sense of Texas roots.” —Chicago Sun Times Between the widening gap of ultra-rich and working poor—or, for that matter, uber-celebrities and starving artists—stands Michelle Shocked, a thriving, independent singer-songwriter from east Texas. Her Campfire Girl Tour celebrates the 25th anniversary of her highly unusual international debut in 1986 with The Texas Campfire Tapes, a bootleg famously recorded on a Sony Walkman and released, unbeknownst to Shocked, by an enterprising British fan. Her outing as a musical artist led her quickly to international fame as a sharp social observer and tremendously fun personality and artist. This year Michelle is dedicating her tour to a cause of great concern: the defunding of arts education in public schools.
