DESCRIPTION:<p>'Mavis Staples is the most underrated diva of the century. S
 he has an almost superhuman ability to implant the pure power of passion a
 nd emotion.' – Rolling Stone<br /><br />Grammy-winning gospel and blues 
 legend Mavis Staples performs at 8 p.m. on Tuesday\, Feb. 5 in UNCW’s Ke
 nan Auditorium.  The performance\, co-sponsored by the UNCW Office of Cul
 tural Arts and The Penguin - 98.3 fm\, is part of the UNCW Masters Series\
 , which brings artists of cultural and historic significance to Wilmington
  each year.<br /><br />Staples' remarkable career began in the 1950s when 
 her family's gospel group\, The Staples Singers\, became a household name 
 with popular hits such as 'I'll Take You There' and 'Respect Yourself.' Si
 nce that time\, Staples has maintained her gospel roots while blazing new 
 trails – taking her from the epicenter of the civil rights movement and 
 collaborations with artists such as Bob Dylan\, The Band and Prince to her
  2011 Grammy-winning album You Are Not Alone\, produced by Wilco frontman 
 Jeff Tweedy.<br /><br />“Mavis is the walking embodiment of undaunted sp
 irit and courage\,” says Tweedy. “She’s an ever-forward looking\, po
 sitive example for all human beings. And she sounds like she’s in the pr
 ime of her life.”<br /><br />One of the greatest voices of our time\, St
 aples’ many contributions to the American musical landscape have been re
 cognized by the NAACP\, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\, National Endowment fo
 r the Arts and artists and critics from across the music spectrum.<br /><b
 r />Tickets are $25-35 (reserved seating). More information is available a
