Southern soul sweetheart, CANDI STATON – whose big hits include the evergreen disco anthem, ‘Young Hearts Run Free’ – returns with her 29th album, ‘Life Happens,’ on the singer’s own Beracah label on October 27th. It reunites the Alabama singer with legendary producer, Rick Hall, who was a musical mentor to her in the late ’60s and early ’70s when she recorded for the producer’s FAME imprint.
Ms. Staton flies to the UK at the end of August to appear at Bongo Bongos in Hull (August 30th) followed by dates at Dublin’s Sugar Club (Wed 3rd September), the Isle of Wight’s Bestival (main stage, Saturday 6th September), London’s Jazz Café (Monday 8th September) and Glasgow’s The Ferry (Wednesday 10th September).
Look out for an interview with Candi Staton and a review of the album soon at SJF…
