Our own Doug Seymour attended the Pennsylvania Blues Festival on July 25th at the Split Rock Resort in Lake Harmony, PA to capture the day’s events.
Blues singer Shemekia Copeland, daughter of the late great Johnny Copeland, headlined the festival.
There was also a late night showcase featuring the original members of Johnny Copeland’s band. This was the first time the group had performed together since Johnny’s passing in 1997. Shemekia Copeland joined the band for this historic moment.
The full day’s events are captured on the flip.
