Mavis is an American treasure. She is a Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, National Heritage Fellowship award winner and was featured on Rolling Stone's Greatest Singers of All Time and VH1's list of Greatest Women of Rock and Roll. She is both a Lifetime Grammy Award recipient and 2011 Grammy Award winner for her CD, You Are Not Alone (Best Americana Album). Mavis spent much of last year supporting Bonnie Raitt (with featured nightly duets) and has been embraced by a younger generation of music fans with performances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and ACL Fest, among many others. Her new album and second collaboration with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, One True Vine, debuted in the Billboard Top 100 selling albums chart (June 2013). Worldwide acclaim for the CD has been similar to Rolling Stone's reaction which proclaims, "One True Vine shows there isn't much the ex-Staple Singer can't make gorgeous and lived-in." The Independent (UK) stated "With One True Vine, Mavis Staples reprises the collaboration with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy that created 2010's hugely successful You Are Not Alone, with even more spectacular results."
