Final Sundays On The River Concert Features Shemekia Copeland
Shemekia Copeland has performed thousands of gigs at clubs, festivals and concert halls all over the world.

ROSWELL, GA — The final performance of the 2019 Sundays on the River lineup is the amazing blues and R&B singer Shemekia Copeland on Sept. 8, at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.
There’s something particularly enchanting about spending an evening of music outdoors, surrounded by nature. Bring a blanket, your love for music, and plenty of food to share as Copeland takes the stage, with a backdrop of frog chorus from the nearby pond.
Copeland never holds back. Her instantly recognizable voice—capable of being sultry, assertive and roaring—delivers every song with unparalleled honesty and passion. Her wide-open vision of contemporary Americana roots and soul music showcases the evolution of a passionate artist with an up-to-the-minute musical and lyrical approach.
