Michelle Shocked
03 November 7:30 PM
Michelle Shocked is a traveller and a troubadour; a ‘picker-poet’, as they say in Texas. Her musical career was ignited by a bootleg recording made around a campfire on a Sony Walkman – The Texas Campfire Tapes. This was followed by a trilogy of albums that stand as a captivating primer on American music. Short Sharp Shocked’s spirited folk-rock progressed into Captain Swing’s energetic jump blues, expanding to Arkansas Traveler’s travelogue of minstrel-era country. These were accompanied by hit singles such as Come a Long Way and On the Greener Side and the classic Anchorage. Now she’s back with a new album, ToHeavenURide, a Gospel album inspired by her work with the West Angeles COGIC mass choir from South Central Los Angeles.

Fish
26 November 7:30 PM
Fish, the legendary former lead singer of Scottish rock band Marillion, comes to Buxton Opera House with a show celebrating his long career as well as from his recent album, Communion. Marillion achieved a string of hits in the mid-1980s, with singles such as Lavender and Kayleigh and albums including Script for a Jester’s Tear, Fugazi and Misplaced Childhood. Since going solo in 1988, Fish has continued to achieve critical acclaim and a hugely loyal following, and has combined his fruitful musical career with occasional moves into acting, often utilising his statuesque build to great effect.
