There is probably no other concert where people philosophize so much about death and laugh as hard as Folk-Lady Michelle Shocked.

You can check it out today from 9 p.m. at Huxleys Jr. (Hasenheide 108 - 114/Neukölln, 29 marks.

The 34-year-old Texan has had an eventful life:

she ran away from home at the age of 16 and now lives in New Orleans, the songwriter quickly learned to take her own life into her own hands.

Their first albums were created in the 80s between the squatter scene and folk festivals around the campfire. “The crickets were still chirping in the background,” remembers Michelle of her first successes.

But when the musician and successful producer Pete Anderson hired her, the headstrong Texan became stubborn for the first time. “I hate making a profit.” "Just like I hated his car phone back then."

Michelle also never let herself be tamed musically: Her music is always a rapid journey through a wide variety of musical styles - through folk, rock, country, swing and pop. "Spontaneity, humor and feelings are my initial spark."
