Fiercely independent American singer songwriter, Michelle Shocked is known for her powerful and passionate performances.

She will be celebratingthe 25^th anniversary of the release of her highly unusual debut THE TEXAS CAMPFIRE SONGS. Recorded in a field on a Sony Walkman and without her knowledge, it was released – unedited and unauthorised – and hit the top of the UK charts in 1986, so beginning a recording career that spawned the hit for which she is best known, “Anchorage”.

Charismatic and politically driven, Shocked is sure to deliver a performance laden with her trademark warmth and humour.
