Jack London Revue

There’s no way to truly quantify whether Shemekia Copeland possesses the biggest voice ever to sing inside the cozy Jack London Revue, but one thing’s for sure: Everyone in every corner of the place will be able to luxuriate in the sound of her powerful pipes. Copeland was born in New York, but she’s the daughter of Texas blues giant Johnny Copeland, which is probably why she can pull off both sleek electric blues and rustic country-style blues with equal skill, not to mention her regular forays into jazz, Americana, and rock ’n’ roll. No matter what kind of music she’s singing, you can count on two things: Copeland will nail every note, and she will do so with eye-popping authority.
