Mavis Staples Returns To Apollo Theater

| | Comments (0)

As previously reported, gospel icon Mavis Staples will make her Anti- Records debut on April 24 with the surprisingly incendiary We’ll Never Turn Back. On the heels of this much-anticipated release comes an equally historic two-night stand at Harlem’s renowned Apollo Theater on May 14 and 15.

Nearly 50 years after first taking the storied stage with the Staple Singers, Mavis will again grace the Harlem venue. For the aforementioned two nights only, the original Freedom Singers, drummer Jim Keltner , bassist Mike Elizando and producer/guitarist Ry Cooder, all of whom play on the new record, will back Staples as she performs songs from We’ll Never Turn Back.
