SoCal’s 88.5FM Welcomes Mavis Staples
Patrick Osburn, GM of 88.5, said, “My predecessor, Sky Daniels, started ‘The Independent 88.5 FM’ tradition of curating our own shows and private performances from the likes of Tom Petty, Stingand Sheryl Crow. We are very excited to be partnering with The Soraya on our next show featuring Mavis Staples, fresh off her tour with Bob Dylan.” Osburn noted that the offices and studios for 88.5 share a building with The Soraya, and he called the Mavis Staples concert “a true testament that our combined efforts are luring world-class acts, with more to come.”
Mark “Mookie” Kaczor, PD of 88.5, called Staples “a legendary artist and one of the most positive people on the planet.” Kaczor added, “We admire her dedication and unmatched commitment to music and humanity. 88.5-FM is extremely thankful for her support.”
