Event Details
Shemekia CopelandShemekia Copeland is the greatest blues singer of her generation. The Washington PostShemekia Copeland has established herself as one of the leading blues artists of our time. Profound and truly powerful...inviting you to think and to party. NPR MusicShemekia Copeland gets her message across loud and clear. She transcends with a mix of styles including gospel, rock, blues, soul, and Americana, proudly representing her generation with style and grace in a voice too strong to be ignored. No DepressionShemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. The multi-GRAMMY nominee is beloved and honored worldwide for the fearlessness, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs, as well as for her winning, engaging personality. The Chicago Tribune says, Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. Theres no mistaking the majesty of her instrument, nor the ferocity of her delivery. On Copelands new album, Blame It On Eve, the songs all hit hard, with jaw-dropping performances that instantly take hold and command repeated listening. Theres serious business on the new album, Copeland says, but there are a lot of smiles here too, a lot of joyous moments. Its my blues for sure but its the brighter side. Issues are always important to me, but so is rocking, dancing and just having fun. And thats something we all can all agree on.Blame It On Eve was recorded in Nashville and produced by instrumentalist/songwriter Will Kimbrough (who also produced her previous three albums). It features 12 new songs that tackle subjects as important as a womans right to choose and climate change, but also leaves space for Copeland to have fun and unwind. From the autobiographical, rocking blues boogie Tough Mother to the anthemic title tracks good-humored but serious focus on reproductive self-determination to the happy hour of Wine OClock, Copeland is inspired throughout.
