In July 2011, Shemekia Copeland was crowned new Queen of the Blues. She's won three Handy Awards and a Grammy nomination. She's performed with the Rolling Stones and recorded with legends like Dr. John. Robert Cray and Steve Cropper. And she's coming to Alton's Riverfront Amphitheater. The heiress apparent of the Chicago Blues scene, Shemekia Copeland will raise the roof with her raucous blend of her sweet home Chicago chops and the Texas Roadhouse style of her legendary father, Johnny Clyde Copeland. You'll wonder how such a young woman can sing with the soulful power of mentors like Etta James and Koko Taylor, but you'll leave convinced. Shemekia Copeland is the real deal. St. Louis' own Bottom's Up Blues Gang will get the ball rolling. Do NOT miss this show! MAJIK 104.9 presents.
