BELLOWS FALLS — Windham & Windsor Housing Trust (WWHT) is bringing Mavis Staples and her band to the Bellows Falls Opera House on Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
At 75, this Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer has been going strong for six decades. She's been described as the solid rock of American music. From the Delta-inflected gospel sound to her series of soul anthems, Staples and her band have been performing around the world, dipping into the wider world of pop.
Also an actress and civil rights activist, she's recorded with The Staple Singers, her family's band.
VH1 named her one of the 100 greatest women of rock 'n' roll, and Rolling Stone named her to its list of the 100 greatest singers of all time.
