“What I’d like to be remembered as is a soldier of love, someone who was helpful to the world by singing and bringing light and love to people,” Staples said...

My friend's brother is her bassist, so I got to meet her backstage at the Greek a few years ago. She's the sweetest human being ever. Glad I get to see her again on Monday! 

Lucky you. Saw her last spring with Dylan, she was definitely the energy of the show. Happy Monday!

The rest of the tour should be announced tomorrow.

Great show last night at Lagunitas 

She has a killer wit and Smokey voice 

Tom Waits sat in!

Mavis is always good, and she has a tight band.

 

Very cool, and somewhat rare Tom Waits sit-in.  Video in the link below:
