Gather Mavis Staples, Mumford & Sons, Nathaniel Rateliff and Yola on a stage together — and a rare kind of magic unfolds. At December 10's sold-out 15th annual Holiday Cheer for FUV, the Beacon Theatre served as a cathedral of seasonal comfort, joy, and remembrance, thanks to a quartet of poignant performances that reveled in the transcendent power of song.
