From their earliest shows as a garage band playing the punk
clubs on Miami Beach, The Mavericks have had a skill for
getting people to groove. Drawing on a mix of classic country,
cow-punk and standards, frontman Raul Malo and company
left South Florida, bringing their rhythmic fervor and Latin
machismo, along with Malo's lush baritone, to the world.
In 2013, after numerous years as a band, multiple Gold and
Platinum albums, world tours, breakups and reformations, The
Mavericks recorded their critically-acclaimed album In Time
and re-introduced music lovers to the band's genre-defying
melting pot of pop music. Their latest album, Mono, garnered
two Grammy nominations in the Americana categories.
