Mavis Staples playing shows in 2011 (Bell House included)

Mavis Staples

Mavis Staples‘ new Jeff Tweedy-produced ANTI-released album You Are Not Alone was released in September (it was MOJO’s #12 album of the year). Mavis will continue to support that record at various shows in 2011. If you missed her on October 6th at City Winery, she returns to NYC to play the Bell House on January 18th (the same night as Prince’s final MSG show). Tickets are on sale for the Brooklyn show which is being billed as “with special guests”.

In March Mavis plays a series of dates with Billy Bragg right before he plays three of his own shows at City Winery.

Jeff Tweedy, like he did on the Colbert Report that same week, played with Mavis at City Winery in October. Videos from that show, Colbert and Jools Holland, with all tour dates, below…
