Michelle Shocked

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Michelle Shocked, affectionately known as the Godmother of Americana brings her unique blend of indie, folk, blues and politics to the Boards, The Edinburgh Playhouse this March.

Not one to shy away from controversy, Shocked’s dynamic personality, frank storytelling, and captivating vocals promise 3 intimate and unforgettable evenings of music, as she performs each of her first three studio albums across separate sessions.

Short Sharp Shocked, Captain Swing and Arkansas Traveler are arguably her most enduring works and each gig will see her perform one of the albums in its entirety, with great banter and a few surprise numbers thrown into the mix.

Last seen at the Boards in August 2017 with Truth vs Reality, Shocked’s Edinburgh stops on her Mercury Rising Tour promise to bring it all back… to the music.
