Singer/Songwriter
Singer and songwriter Michael Hurley became a cult hero for his playfully surreal brand of folk music; it was witty and thoughtful and filled with both joy and consternation. Married to simple melodies based in traditional folk, Hurley often preferred recording at home to going into a studio, and the simple, lo-fi feel of his music made him a hero to the later freak folk scene. 1972's Hi-Fi Snock Uptown was a superior early effort; 1976's Have Moicy! (a collaboration with the Unholy Modal Rounders and Jeffrey Frederick) was a minor masterpiece of loose-limbed urban folk; 1980's Snockgrass was steeped in blues, folk, and jug band influences. 1995's Wolf Ways saw him back in action after a layoff from recording and 2009's Ida Con Snock was a collaboration with indie rockers Ida. 2021's The Time of the Foxgloves was a spare and soulful effort that captured him in classic form.
