I’ve been in many blues concerts. All great. Shemekia Copeland and Samantha Fish are out of this planet. I took my 26 year old daughter to both concerts. She really loved it. Now I have a sidekick
Shemekia Copeland is a great blues singer with a good band. Broad spectrum of blues. Even a funny country song. Good interaction with the audience.
Ms. Copeland performed very well with repotoir of songs. The audience loved her as she sung songs from her albums. A Great Concert!!
Great performer, love her down to earth approach and how she wngages with the audience!
Seats were good partially obstructed but could still see stage Nice venue different set up than a usual music place service food easy out had an enjoyable evening ??
Shemekia was fabulous! She can fill the hall with her voice and her personality. Packard Music Hall was a disappointment though. Very cramped old seating. Just an old building that needs updating badly.
One of the best we have seen in a long time! As always she was fabulous ??
WOW. She’s fantastic, great concert. Was a rescheduled concert, really glad we made it.
Shamekia had a powerful performance that was moving and entertaining and electrifying. She’s a gem!
Shemekia is a great performer and really engages the audience. Her voice is great and very strong. It was a great time
