Hailed as “the greatest blues singer of her generation” (The Washington Post) and “a powerhouse vocalist,” (Rolling Stone) Shemekia Copeland makes her Penn Live Arts debut with incomparable vocals, hard-hitting musical truths and pure star power. This award-winning blues and Americana artist performs the hits of her latest album, Blame It On Eve, a soulful way of celebrating life and addressing its trials through music. “Regardless of subject matter, though, there’s no mistaking the majesty of Copeland’s instrument, nor the ferocity of her delivery. Copeland reaffirms the relevance of the blues.” (The Chicago Tribune)
