SUMMARY:Mavis Staples / Brother Wallace / LaGuardia High School Gospel Ensemble / Luv
DESCRIPTION:Due to the progressively worsening Air Quality Index in Central Park\, tonight’s show has been cancelled to protect the safety of our staff\, artists\, and guests. Stay safe and we hope to se you at another show. \nMavis Staples has been performing for eight decades. At 86 years old\, she’s known as one of the most enduring figures in American music\, earning inductions into multiple halls of fame (blues\, rock\, and gospel)\, was a Kennedy Center Honoree\, and winner of numerous GRAMMY awards\, including one for lifetime achievement. With her return to SummerStage\, she’s sure to perform the hits alongside new tracks from her 15th solo album Sad and Beautiful World. She’s collaborated with nearly every major figure of her many eras\, from Bob Dylan to Prince\, Aretha Franklin\, and Willie Nelson. Opening the evening is Brother Wallace\, a force of modern soul and gospel sound. Most recently\, he’s collaborated with The Heavy guitarist Dan Taylor to build a body of work built on his electrifying brand of soul music. The LaGuardia Gospel Ensemble explores the rich history and enduring legacy of gospel music\, tracing its evolution from the early 20th century to today while honoring its roots in the Black Church and the struggle for social change. Through powerful performances\, the ensemble celebrates one of America’s most influential musical traditions while fostering artistry\, community\, and the next generation of performers.
