Taj Mahal / Mavis Staples

DOUBLE BILL

?Taj Mahal is a walking encyclopedia of black music and one of its most genial, enthusiastic partisans.?
? Rolling Stone

?Nobody sings like the magnificent and uplifting Mavis Staples.?
? Vanity Fair

Described by All Music Guide as ?one of the most prominent figures in late 20th century blues,? legendary singer and multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal has played a crucial role in revitalizing traditional acoustic blues. He brings his irresistible country blues-fusion to Royce Hall in a double bill with gospel R&B vocalist and Staples Singers leader Mavis Staples, whom Rolling Stone called ?The most underrated divaof the century. She has an almost superhuman ability to implant the pure power of passion.?
