“Shemekia Copeland is the greatest blues singer of her generation.” - The Washington Post
Award-winning blues, soul and Americana singer Shemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. She is beloved worldwide for the fearlessness, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs, as well as for her winning, engaging personality. Copeland, winner of the 2021 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year, connects with her audience on an intensely personal level, taking them with her on what The Wall Street Journal calls “a consequential ride” of “bold and timely blues.”
On her new Alligator album, “Done Come Too Far,” Copeland continues the story she began telling on 2018’s groundbreaking “America’s Child” and 2020’s Grammy-nominated “Uncivil War,” reflecting her vision of America’s past, present and future. On Done Come Too Far, she delivers her hard-hitting musical truths through her eyes, those of a young American Black woman, a mother, and a wife. But she likes to have a good time too, and her music reflects that, at times putting her sly sense of humor front and center.
“This album was made by all sides of me, happy, sad, silly, irate, they’re all a part who I am and who we all are. I’m not political. I’m just talking about what’s happening in this country.”
“Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. There’s no mistaking the majesty of her instrument, nor the ferocity of her delivery.” - The Chicago Tribune
“I am so happy Shemekia is delivering these songs that the world needs to hear. Her voice is strong and soulful, and her message comes from her heart.” – Mavis Staples
