Texas-born, folk and roots singer-songwriter whose output occasionally touches on politics and satire.
Her key releases include "The Texas Campfire Tapes", "Short Sharp Shocked" and "Captain Swing", all issued in the late '80s.
In 2017 she toured the show Truth vs Reality - "Arrested for peaceful protest. Ridiculed for dissecting the censored history of blackface. Blacklisted for antagonising virtual-media zombies. This August, triple Grammy nominated artist Michelle Shocked celebrates the 30th anniversary since the launch of her Mercury Trilogy."
