Michelle Shocked announces Irish dates

Veteran agitpop singer Michelle Shocked brings her Roadworks tour to Whelan’s, Dublin (July 30) and Féile, Belfast (August 1).
Tickets for the former are €26.
Meanwhile, the American’s [link]www.michelleshocked.com[/link] site is inviting songwriters, professional or otherwise, to submit songs that “articulate the Zeitgeist; 1-in-10 unemployed, 1-in-6 uninsured, long term partners denied marriage equality, home foreclosures or mortgages underwater, political gridlock, bankruptcy or bailout.”
If they’re good enough, Shocked may add them to her live repertoire.
