Event Description
There are few living musicians like Mavis Staples who can lay claim to being the voice of America’s conscience, and even fewer who continue to make vital music. From the delta-inflected gospel sound she helped create in the 1950s ("Uncloudy Day"), to the engaged protest of the civil rights era ("Freedom Highway"), and then, on pop radio with hits (“I’ll Take You There,” “Respect Yourself,” "Let’s Do It Again")--through all these, Mavis carried on, her warm embrace of a voice the only constant.
Multiple Grammy Award-winners and Gospel Hall of Famers Blind Boys of Alabama cross multiple musical boundaries with their remarkable interpretations of everything from traditional gospel favorites to contemporary spiritual songs by Ben Harper, Eric Clapton, Prince and Tom Waits. The soaring energy and powerful voices of these amazing singers connect with the soul for an inspired experience!
