Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats + Mavis Staples

WXRT presents its annual Big Holiday Concert, headlined by Missouri R&B revivalists Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats. The band's recent self-titled LP plays like a live letter to the iconic Stax Records sound of the late ’60s and early ‘70s, characterized by soulful vocals, wailing organs and some tasteful horn arrangements. Local gospel legend Mavis Staples opens the show, capping off a year in which she released a new album, Livin' on a High Note, and was the subject of an HBO documentary.
