The great. Folkie, rocker campfire fire girl Michelle Shocked (remember Short, Sharp, Shocked?) was considered the female billy Bragg back in the day and so I am very happy to announce she will be playing Joe’s Pub May 6th. $30 so you can’t have everything though it is a Thursday and it is a 7pm gig.
This is what they wrote on Joe’s Pub website: “It’s the Arkansas Traveler Redux! Our favorite ‘sophisticated hillbilly’ returns to celebrate the 20th anniversary release of Arkansas Traveler, an ‘epic journey into the heart of Americana.’ “I believe it is a masterpiece that has stood the test of time,” says Michelle Shocked, “and I’m delighted to return with a few updates and surprises added.”
