Mavis Staples at Jo Long Theatre – San Antonio, TX

Get your tickets to see Mavis Staples in San Antonio, TX. Happening on Friday, November 21, 2025 at Jo Long Theatre. Doors open at 8:00 PM.

Mavis Staples has been celebrated by NPR as one of Americas defining voices of freedom and peace, and after 75 years of performing she is not showing any signs of slowing down in that mission. The last surviving member of The Staple Singers, Mavis reigns as both a Blues and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and a civil rights icon whose impact on music and culture can not be overstated. Consider that Staples is a Grammy winner, Kennedy Center honoree, National Arts Awards Lifetime Achievement recipient and a chart topping soul gospel R&B pioneer. She marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. performed at John F. Kennedys inauguration, sang in Barack Obamas White House and has collaborated with everyone from Prince and Bob Dylan to Arcade Fire and Aretha Franklin. I sing because I want to leave people feeling better than I found them, Staples has said. I want them to walk away with a positive message in their hearts, feeling stronger than they felt before.
