Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons (Santa Clarita, CA)
When Mavis Staples’ stirring, soulful voice sings “I’ll Take You There,” you want to follow her willingly. Over the course of more than six decades, beginning with her early work with The Staple Singers, she’s earned a spot amongst the legends of blues and gospel. Thanks to hits like “Respect Yourself” and “Let’s Do It Again,” Staples is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and an inspiration to musicians of every stripe. But she’s hardly resting on her laurels. She’s kept her sound relevant and on-point for the 21st century, working with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy to release 2013’s One True Vine and her 2010 Grammy-winning album You Are Not Alone. With such a jam-packed, era-spanning catalog, it’ll be an evening filled with yesteryear’s hits and classics-in-the-making.
