Mavis Staples 85th: All-Star Birthday Concert

Hailed by NPR as “one of America’s defining voices of freedom and peace,” Mavis Staples is the kind of once-in-a-generation artist whose impact on music and culture would be difficult to  overstate. She’s both a Blues and a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer; a civil rights icon; a  three-time GRAMMY Award winner (and a GRAMMY lifetime achievement award); a  chart-topping soul, gospel, and R&B pioneer; a National Arts Awards Lifetime  Achievement recipient; named to Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Singers of All Time at #46; and a Kennedy Center honoree. She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., performed at John F. Kennedy’s inauguration, and sang in Barack Obama’s White House.

Mavis Staples 85th: All-Star Birthday Concert will take place on Thursday, April 18, 2024, at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park, featuring once-in-a-lifetime performances with Mavis Staples and an incredible lineup of superstar artists, including Black Pumas, Chris Stapleton, Grace Potter, Hozier, Jackson Browne, Jeff Tweedy, Keb’ Mo’, Michael McDonald, Nathaniel Rateliff, Norah Jones, Robert Randolph, Taj Mahal, The War And Treaty, plus more to be announced.
