Shemekia Copeland returns to our stage at the Lizzie Rose Music Room. Her last concert was described as an evening like going to church and coming out fulfilled. Shemekia filled up the Music Room with her incredible vocals and provided her unique mixture of blues and soul jams. She is touring to support her new album "Blame It On Eve" and she played several jams from it including the title song along with jams from her other albums. This woman can belt out the blues and melt your heart with a soulful ballad. Shemekia is already building a legacy and will eventually be mentioned along with Etta James and Koko Taylor as a female blues icon.
