Mavis Staples (expired event)

Mavis Staples is as fiery, fearless and funky as ever.

Once the forefront of the American civil rights movement, Staples’ mighty voice has lost none of its heartfelt expression and depth. Drawing from the faithful conviction of gospel as well as the populist activism of folk, this living legend is a powerhouse of soul, truth and inspiration. A bonfire of joy, the recently turned 80-year-old will ignite the Lighthouse for a most triumphant Festival finale.
