Award-winning blues, soul and Americana singer Shemekia Copeland will perform live at Robert’s Westside in Forest Park on Saturday, December 30, 2023. Possessing one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time, Copeland 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. 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.” Her most recent Alligator Records release is the award-winning, Done Come Too Far.
DownBeat magazine recently honored Copeland with two coveted DownBeat Critics Awards for Blues Artist Or Group Of The Year and Blues Album Of The Year (for her Grammy-nominated, Will Kimbrough-produced 2022 release, Done Come Too Far). She recently won the 2023 Blues Music Award for Best Instrumentalist -- Vocals, the 15th Blues Music Award of her career. She also just took home four Living Blues Awards, including Blues Artist Of The Year (Female) and Contemporary Blues Album Of The Year for Done Come Too Far, and won the A2IM Libera Award for Best Blues Album as well. UK tastemaker magazine MOJO named the album the 2022 #1 Blues Album Of The Year. The equally influential Americana music site No Depression included the release among the top ten best albums of the year. Done Come Too Far’s title track was the #2 most played track on SiriusXM's Bluesville channel, where Copeland continues to host her own daily radio program.
