One True Vine: Mavis Staples

One True Vine: Mavis Staples
A National Heritage Fellowship Award winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement winner, Mavis Staples’s rich, raspy vocals and precise phrasing have been central to the definitive mark she has made on American music. In the six decades since her start within the delta-inflected gospel group The Staples Singers, Staples has continued to cultivate a genuine and inspired take on the combination of gospel, soul and folk music. Her two most recent albums (produced by Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy), one of which won a GRAMMY Award, show that Mavis Staples is at the top of her game. Don’t miss this opening weekend concert featuring one of the greats of gospel, soul and R&B! More than half a century of American social history is embodied in the warm, earthy voice of the great R&B gospel singer Mavis Staples…“her grainy, low-voiced, minimally ornamented singing is rooted to a family tradition that spans more than 60 years.” —The New York Times
