Browsing: Shemekia Copeland

Shemekia Copeland’s new album ‘Blame It On Eve,’ out now via Alligator Records, sustains a level high enough to which other contemporary blues albums struggle to reach. The list of musicians who sat in is a who’s who of talented headliners in their own right: Americana superstar Alejandro Escovedo, guitarists Luther Dickinson and Charlie Hunter, lap steel master Jerry Douglas, and young sacred steel wizard DaShawn.

The free concert, a double bill with Ronnie Baker Brooks and Shemekia Copeland, provided a full slate of priceless memories and magical moments.

Shemekia Copeland is setting the trend for contemporary blues women on her new album ‘Done Come Too Far.’ She tells it like it is, prays to God, records with musicians from different genres, plays for the U.N. and President Obama, and flies into the frontlines of a war zone to play for our troops.
