Epitaph

Mavis Staples is an American gospel, R&B and soul singer and civil rights activist. Born on July 10, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, she has made a significant impact on the music industry both as a member of her family's band The Staple Singers and as a solo artist.
With her powerful voice and passionate performances, Mavis has captivated audiences around the world. She comes from a musical lineage that includes her father Pops Staples and siblings Cleotha, Yvonne, and Pervis. Together with The Staple Singers, they created timeless hits that blended gospel harmonies with elements of R&B and soul.
Throughout her career, Mavis Staples has collaborated with renowned artists such as Bettye LaVette, The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Allen Toussaint, Ruthie Foster, The Neville Brothers, Levon Helm,and Dr. John among others. Her contributions to music have earned her numerous accolades including Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In conjunction with the new career documentary film Mavis! which premieres at SXSW Film this spring, ANTI- is pleased to announce a unique collaboration between two generations of ANTI artists. For the recording of the EP Your Good Fortune, gospel and soul legend Mavis Staples went into the studio with new ANTI singer-songwriter-producer Son Little, recording two new Son Little original songs, and two vivid reworkings of Staple Singers classics. To hear Mavis' clarion voice bedded in Son Little's ancient/modern swirl of swamp guitar and b-boy programming is to discover the knife edge of Mavis Staples' art.
