As a young feminist\, she left Texas to travel\, Kerouac-style\, and was caught up in Reagan-era grassroots politics. Her musical career was ignited by a bootleg recording made around a Kerrville Folk Festival campfire on a Son y Walkman.\n\nIn a 26-year career that has seen critical acclaim at every juncture\, she famously escaped major-label indentured servitude in 1996\, subverting the artist-label relationship that helped lead to the current trend toward artistic self-containment. She has made good use of her indep endence\, releasing more critically-acclaimed albums on her Mighty Sound l abel. Her 2009 album\, Soul of My Soul\, was the latest of these. Her curr ent work-in-progress\, the as-yet-unrecorded Indelible Women is schedule f or a 2014 release. In 2010\, she launched Roadworks\, an ongoing\, five-ye ar touring project which curates audiences favorite songs while developing Indelible Women. "\;Michelle Shocked"\; is the nom de guerre give n at her arrest in a political protest called "\;The War Chest Tour&qu ot\; during the 1984 Democratic National Convention in San Francisco\, Cal ifornia. The demonstration challenged the practice of U.S. corporations re ceiving lucrative military contracts from the U.S. government while giving generous campaign contributions to both political parties\, thus benefiti ng from political favors regardless of election results. "\;Michelle S hocked"\; was intended to invoke the spectre of "\;shell shock&quo t\; as a result of Reagan's Cold War policies.
