NEW ALBUM ‘WE GET BY’ OUT NOW

PERFORMING AT GLASTONBURY, RED ROCKS AND CHICAGO’S PITCHFORK FESTIVAL THIS SUMMER

“She turns 80 this summer but her voice is as rich and powerful as she was with the Staples Singers or backing the Band in The Last Waltz.” – Noisey

“
It’s a magnificent collaboration all the way through … her deep, unbridled voice brings righteousness, power and experience to every word.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times

“
Her voice is so powerful and her disposition so joyful and generous that she sings for every American, as the first-person-plural title ‘We Get By’ implies: We are all in this together.” – Pitchfork

This past weekend, CBS This Morning’s Anthony Mason spoke with Mavis Staples about her three recent 80th birthday shows and what continues to keep her inspired to perform. They also discuss how she stays in shape – with boxing classes, vocal warm-ups and eating healthily. Watch their conversation HERE.

Mavis and her band also performed three songs from the new album ‘We Get By’ in the CBS studio – watch their renditions of “Change”, “Stronger” and “We Get By” now.

Mavis also recently chatted with Marc Maron for his podcast WTF with Marc Maron about growing up in Chicago, early performances with her family’s band the Staple Singers and working with Martin Luther King Jr. and Bob Dylan. Listen to their in-depth conversation
