BROWNFIELD — Vocalist Shemekia Copeland, celebrating the release of her new album, Outskirts of Love, will perform at the Stone Mountain Arts Center at 9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 31.  

Tickets are $85. 

With a voice that is alternately sultry, assertive and roaring, the two-time Grammy-nominee’s wide-open vision of contemporary blues, roots and soul music showcases the evolution of a passionate artist with a modern musical and lyrical approach.

Whether she’s belting out a raucous blues-rocker, firing up a blistering soul-shouter, bringing the spirit to a gospel-fueled R&B rave-up or digging deep down into a subtle, country-tinged ballad, Copeland sounds like no one else. 

Stone Mountain Arts Center is at 695 Dugway Road. For more information, call 207-935-7292 or go online to www.stonemountainartscenter.com
