From the informal, tradition-rooted folkiness of her initial release
The Texas Campfire Tapes and the strong postmodern feminist perspective
and punk attitude on Short Sharp Shocked, Michelle Shocked has stayed
true to herself, a music industry maverick. The genre-bending artist
returns to Britt after a scorching performance in 2006. ToHeavenURide, a collection of covers and originals recorded live from Shocked's 2003
performance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, was released last year.
Michelle Shocked will close this concert.

Quality of Mercy
The Devil Makes Three
 With
a slightly punky perspective on vintage American blues, The Devil Makes
Three is a breath of fresh musical air. Laced with elements of ragtime,
country, folk and rockabilly, the critically-acclaimed, drummer-less
trio brings forth a genuine approach to acoustic music that is deeply
steeped in rhythm. In fact, they write with rhythm and dancing in mind.
The Devil Makes Three draws a wide spectrum of fans from all genres and
ages.
