Mavis Staples is a civil rights icon and Blues and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer whose soulful, gospel-rooted voice has shaped American music for over six decades.
Mavis Staples is one of the defining voices in American music, a singer whose career spans gospel, soul and R&B and whose influence stretches far beyond the charts. As a member of The Staple Singers and later as a solo artist, she has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame, and has won GRAMMY Awards alongside a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award and a Kennedy Center Honor. Alongside her music, she has been a lifelong civil rights activist, marching with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and using her voice to champion equality and justice.
Her career highlights read like a history of American culture itself: performing at John F. Kennedy's inauguration, singing at the White House for President Obama, and joining The Band on stage for their legendary Last Waltz farewell concert. She has collaborated with artists including Bob Dylan, Prince, Arcade Fire and Hozier, and in her seventies released three acclaimed albums with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy that showed a voice still growing in depth and power. Mavis Staples remains a living link to soul music's golden age, still performing with the same conviction that made her a legend.
