Shemekia Copeland, born in Harlem, New York City, is a renowned blues artist. She inherited her musical talent from her father, a Texas blues guitarist and singer. With an impressive vocal range and captivating stage presence, Shemekia has established herself as one of the leading voices in contemporary blues music.

Influenced by greats like Janiva Magness, Katie Webster, and Angela Strehli among others, Shemekia's powerful performances have earned her critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. Her soulful voice combined with her ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level sets her apart from other artists in the genre.

From energetic and upbeat tracks to heartfelt ballads, each song reflects her passion for storytelling through music. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, she consistently delivers authentic and captivating performances that leave a lasting impression on listeners.

Back in 1971, a 23-year-old blues fan used his meagre savings to record and produce his favourite band. Following his heart, he quit his day job with Delmark Records and began promoting *Alligator* and his new record company full time.

Over 30 years later, that company, Alligator Records, is home to some of the world’s premier blues and roots rock talent and is regarded by fans and the media alike as the top contemporary blues record label in the world.

The first release from Alligator Records was *The Siegel-Schwall Band* (1971).
