SHEMEKIA'S BAND INVOLVED IN MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT
posted Thursday, January 24, 2008

Early today Shemekia's band was involved in an accident while driving to a performance in Bloomington, IL.  A truck cut in front of them on a highway about 100 miles from Chicago. 

After a visit to South Bend Memorial Hospital, everyone was declared fine outside of minor bumps and scrapes.  The van, however, was totally demolished.  Shemekia was not traveling with the band.

The band plans on performing tomorrow evening in Ann Arbor as scheduled.  (Hey...we're a blues band!)

We apologize to the fans in Bloomington and are in the process of rescheduling that date. 

We thank everyone for their prayers and concern.
