What is this?
Mavis Staples and Booker T. & The MG's share this very special co-bill to benefit the Old Town School of Folk Music.

Soul and gospel legend Mavis Staples possesses one of the most recognizable and treasured voices in contemporary music. From her early days sharing lead vocals with her groundbreaking family group, The Staple Singers, to her powerful solo recordings, Mavis Staples is an inspirational force in modern popular culture and music.

As the house band at Stax Records and inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the American musical influence of Booker T. & the MG’s is immense – they helped shape the sounds of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Carla Thomas, Albert King, Sam and Dave, Neil Young and many others.

Proceeds from this benefit concert support Old Town School student scholarships, outreach, music education and performance programs.
