In The Moment ... May 22, 2017 Show 098 Hour 2

When Shemekia Copeland was eight years old, her father pulled her onstage at the Cotton Club in Harlem to sing. Her latest album, "Outskirts of Love,” was nominated for a Grammy Award. You can see her this Thursday night at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux Falls, as the Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Society brings the award-winning blues vocalist to town. She joins In the Moment to talk about giving voice to a new era of blues in America.

Tonight marks the premiere of the new SDPB documentary "The Deadwood Pioneer." It's the story of human remains discovered at a construction site in Deadwood and the investigation to find out more about the man and the story he might have to tell us all. You can watch at 9 central, 8 mountain on SDPB-TV. We visit with Deadwood city archivist Mike Runge and SDPB-TV producer Chad Anderson.
