Shemekia Copeland November 10 -11 Rare is the New York native who has been ranked as one of the world’s top blues performers, but that is the case with this whirlwind dynamo of a singer. She can belt it out old school Chicago-style a la Koko Taylor, or rock the blues like they do in Texas, a trait she gets by her birthright as the daughter of Houston blues legend Johnny Copeland. Despite her youth, she has nearly two decades of touring experience and owns any stage she’s on. John Hammond & John Mayall February 16-17 John Hammond has been a blues fixture for decades and recently joined hallowed company as an inductee into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2011. The soulful Grammy winner is the consummate triple threat musician (on vocals, guitar, and harmonica) whose roots-driven blues has influenced countless musicians, from Jimi Hendrix to Bob Dylan. Literally and figuratively Sir John Mayall is British blues royalty who hired among others Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Mick Fleetwood back in the 1960s. At 77, he is an ageless wonder who plays with the same intensity today as he did when he first blazed a blues path around the world. Taj Mahal & the Phantom Blues Band April 19-20 Taj Mahal may be the worldliest musician the blues genre has ever produced. His life has been a 50 year journey to take the blues to every corner of the world while absorbing different cultures into his music along the way. As The New Yorker states, he is “the genuine article, a questing artist who successfully melds world-music strains within the foundation of American rural blues.” This subscription is no longer available, please select another package from the list on the left.
