Mavis Staples @ Prospect Park – 6/14/13
Soul legend Mavis Staples brought her tour to NYC for a free Celebrate! Brooklyn show at Prospect Park on June 14, the day before she played Croton’s Clearwater Festival. Support at the Prospect Park show came from Cody ChesnuTT, who played his own show at SOB’s (6/13) a day earlier. Pictures from Prospect Park are in this post.
As discussed, Mavis’ new album, One True Vine (produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco), will be out next week (6/25). You can now listen to the entire thing ahead of its release date at NPR. Mavis also just performed her cover of Funkadelic’s “Can You Get To That” (which appears on her new album and which she also played at Prospect Park) on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. A video of that performance is below.
Other recent Celebrate! Brooklyn shows include the Jim James/The Roots show, and last night’s (6/20) Blackalicious, Phony PPL, and D-Nice show. The next one is Amadou & Mariam tonight (6/21), which is totally free.
