Shemekia Copeland

This special program is in partnership with WHCP-FM, the next generation of Cambridge Community Radio expanding into Talbot County as early as summer 2023. We're opening our doors early for a reception to meet some of the WHCP team. And we’re looking forward to more collaborations with WHCP in the future! Special thanks to Cabin Creek Animal Hospital and the host of WHCP’s Lady Spins the Blues, Donna Flaggs, for sponsoring the band. (More WHCP info @ whcp.org) 

“Shemekia Copeland has established herself as one of the leading blues artists of our time.” NPR Music

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 music, as well as for delivering each song she performs with unmatched passion.

Winner of the 2021 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year, Copeland 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.” NPR Music says Shemekia sings with “punchy defiance and potent conviction.” The Houston Chronicle describes her songs as “resilient pleas for a kinder tomorrow.”
