Mavis Staples and Joan Osborne to Bring SOLID SOUL Tour to MPAC, 11/3

Grammy Award-winning legend Mavis Staples teams up with multi-platinum recording artist Joan Osborne on the highly anticipated national tour, "Solid Soul." Mayo Performing Arts Center presents "Solid Soul" on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 8 pm. Tickets are $29-$69.

From her early days with the iconic Staple Singers, when she was on top of the charts with songs like the 1972 #1 hit "I'll Take You There," to her recent albums with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples has been a leader in American music for six decades. The "Solid Soul" tour marks her first tour collaboration with Joan Osborne, the widely celebrated singer-songwriter who dominated Top 40 radio with her hit song "One of Us," and whose albums have garnered seven Grammy nominations.

Unlike many tour packages, where two artists tour together but perform their own shows, this tour will be a combined show, with lots of interaction between the two legends.

Mayo Performing Arts Center is located at 100 South St., Morristown, NJ 07960. For tickets, call the Box office (973) 539-8008 or go online at www.mayoarts.org.
