 full-throated blues roar\, vocalist Shemekia Copeland boasts a dynamic ran
 ge and a vibrant personality that together have the music world hailing he
 r as a diva in the making.\n\nDaughter of the late Texas blues guitar lege
 nd Johnny Clyde Copeland\, Shemekia was schooled in his Texas-style blues.
  But her experiences growing up on the streets of Harlem have infused her 
 music with a deeply personal touch that remains decidedly accessible.\n\nF
 ollowing the release of her debut album\, 'Turn the Heat Up'\, Copeland be
 gan receiving a long list of accolades from critics and fans alike. The Vi
 llage Voice called Shemekia's voice 'nothing short of uncanny\,' while Liv
 ing Blues referred to it as 'pure\, beautifully unaffected and powerful.' 
 And The Boston Globe proclaimed 'She roars with a sizzling hot intensity.'
 \n\nWhile still in her 20s\, she's opened for the Rolling Stones\, headlin
 ed at the Chicago Blues Festival and numerous festivals around the world\,
  scored critics choice awards on both sides of the Atlantic (The New York 
 Times and The Times of London) and shared the stage with such luminaries a
 s Buddy Guy\, B.B. King\, Taj Mahal and John Mayer. Heir to the rich tradi
 tion of soul-drenched divas like Ruth Brown\, Etta James and Koko Taylor\,
  Copeland's shot at the eventual title of Queen of the Blues is pretty cle
 ar. By some standards\, she may already be there.\n\n'She belongs to the s
 chool of blues belters whose roars could move rocks up hills' - Jay Rutten
 berg\, Time Out NY\n\nWatch Shemekia's performance on The Letterman Show H
