Grammy Award-winning legend Mavis Staples teams up with multi-platinum recording artist Joan Osborne on the highly anticipated national tour, "Solid Soul".

From her early days with the iconic Staple Singers, when she was on top of the charts with songs like the 1972 #1 hit "I'll Take You There", to her recent albums with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Mavis Staples has been a leader in American music for six decades. There are few living musicians who can lay claim to being the voice of America's conscience, and even fewer who continue to make vital music. For six decades Mavis Staples has been the solid rock of American music. Alongside the family group she is so identified with, the Staple Singers, Mavis has managed to transform herself as she goes, yet never alter. Staples is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner, and a National Heritage Fellowship Award recipient. VH1 named her one of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll, and Rolling Stone listed her as one of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.

The "Solid Soul" tour marks her first tour collaboration with Joan Osborne, the widely celebrated singer-songwriter who dominated Top 40 radio with her hit song "One of Us" and whose albums have garnered seven Grammy nominations. Joan Osborne has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the great voices of her generation - both a commanding, passionate performer and a frank, emotionally evocative songwriter. A multi-platinum selling recording artist, the soulful vocalist is a highly sought-after collaborator and guest performer who has performed alongside many notable artists, including Bob Dylan, LucianoPavarotti, Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris, Taj Mahal, and Patti Smith to name a few.

The "Solid Soul" tour marks the two illustrious singers' first collaboration.
