Hello Everyone

Boys and girls, welcome to the Church of Mavis Staples! You can't help but be mesmerized by her enthusiasm and powerful presence. To be perfectly honest, Mavis was the very reason I went to this show in the first place. Even if you're not particularly into gospel, the driving rhythms and fantastic musicianship alone is enough to make you want to dancing. Hallelujah!

Enjoy
