The soul and gospel legend returns to Boston, presented by World Music.
Mavis Staples possesses one of the most recognizable and treasured voices in contemporary music. She is a Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy Lifetime Achievement winner, National Heritage Fellowship award winner, and one of VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock 'n' Roll. In the 1960s, Mavis Staples and the Staples Singers hit the top of the charts with "Respect Yourself," "Let's Do It Again," and "I'll Take You There," becoming the soundtrack of the civil rights movement.
Forty years later, Staples' critically acclaimed, Ry Cooder-produced release "We'll Never Turn Back" revisits the themes of peace and perseverance that she learned firsthand from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
