SUMMARY:Shemekia Copeland
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nShemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. The multi-GRAMMY nominee is beloved and honored worldwide for the fearlessness\, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs\, as well as for her winning\, engaging personality. The Chicago Tribune says\, “Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. There’s no mistaking the majesty of her instrument\, nor the ferocity of her delivery.”\n\n On Copeland’s new album\, Blame It On Eve\, the songs all hit hard\, with jaw-dropping performances that instantly take hold and command repeated listening. “There’s serious business on the new album\,” Copeland says\, “but there are a lot of smiles here too\, a lot of joyous moments. It’s my blues for sure but it’s the brighter side. Issues are always important to me\, but so is rocking\, dancing and just having fun. And that’s something we all can all agree on.” \nWith Blame It On Eve\, Copeland embarks on what she calls “a vacation from all the heaviness.” Blame It On Eve contains plenty of Copeland’s trademark bold and courageous songs\, but here Copeland is also looking to unplug from the weight of the world. “My last three records have dealt with breaking news\,” she says. “This record is for people like me who want a break from the news.”

SUMMARY:Selwyn Birchwood
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nAlthough award-winning Florida musician Selwyn Birchwood is firmly rooted in the tradition\, the young guitarist\, lap steel player\, songwriter and vocalist sets a course for the future of the blues with his visionary\, original music. Birchwood\, whose band features the pulsating interplay of his blistering guitar with Regi Oliver’s driving baritone sax\, deploys a singular sound and style all his own. He calls it “Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues\,” an intoxicating mix of deep blues\, blistering\, psychedelic-tinged rock\, booty-shaking funk and sweet Southern soul\, played and sung with the fire-and-brimstone fervor of a revival tent preacher with a hellhound on his trail. Tastemaker Americana music magazine No Depression says\, “Selwyn Birchwood reaches back in the blues tradition to launch something out of this world.” \nOn his new release\, Exorcist (his fourth for Alligator and sixth overall)\, Birchwood delivers the most far-reaching\, musically adventurous album of his career.  \nLive\, Birchwood is a force of nature. His ability to win over an audience–any audience–is proven night after night on the bandstand. With his warm\, magnetic personality\, Birchwood is as down-to-earth as his music is thought-provoking and electrifying. With his band feeding off his energy\, the 6’3″ musician roams the stage barefoot\, ripping out memorable guitar licks with ease\, his soulful\, rocks-and-gravel vocals firing up his fans. When he sits down to play his lap steel\, he takes the crowd to a whole other level\, with the music exorcising any bad times and troubles.
