"Shemekia's a ball-of-fire vocalist with a voice that's part Memphis, part Chicago and all woman...devastatingly powerful. She's a great singer, period." - Chicago Sun-Times
"Shemekia captures the timelessness of the blues while spinning it forward with remarkable maturity." - USA Today
Award-winning vocalist Shemekia Copeland will celebrate the release of her powerful new Alligator Records album, Blame It On Eve, with a live performance at the SFJAZZ Center's Miner Auditorium in San Francisco on Saturday, November 30, 2024. Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. The multi-GRAMMY nominee is beloved and honored worldwide for the fearlessness, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs, as well as for her winning, engaging personality. The Chicago Tribune says, "Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. There's no mistaking the majesty of her instrument, nor the ferocity of her delivery."
On Blame It On Eve, the 12 songs all hit hard, with jaw-dropping performances that instantly take hold and command repeated listening. "There's serious business on the new album," Copeland says, "but there are a lot of smiles here too, a lot of joyous moments. It's my blues for sure but it's the brighter side. Issues are always important to me, but so is rocking, dancing and just having fun. And that's something we all can all agree on." Upon release, Blame It On Eve debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.
