Formed in Miami, Florida, in 1989 by lead vocalist Raul Malo and drummer Paul Deakin, The Mavericks began their journey as a country music band with a twist. Their eclectic blend of styles set them apart from the start, and over the years, they’ve continued to evolve, experimenting with influences ranging from Tex-Mex and Americana to Cuban rhythms and Jamaican ska. With Malo’s commanding baritone voice leading the charge, they’ve garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base around the world.

Since their formation, The Mavericks have undergone several transformations. Their early days saw them signed to MCA Nashville Records, releasing albums that charted hits like "What a Crying Shame," which became their most commercially successful album, going platinum in the U.S. and double-platinum in Canada. Hits like "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down," a collaboration with Flaco Jiménez, also cemented their place in the country music scene, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

Despite disbanding in 2000, the band reunited in 2012 and has continued to push the boundaries of their sound, introducing new members and exploring musical landscapes that go far beyond country music. Their latest project, *Moon & Stars*, showcases the band's innovative spirit, with frontman Raul Malo describing it as "cosmic energy put into practice." The album delves into uncharted territory, reflecting The Mavericks' growth as global storytellers, incorporating diverse influences gathered from their travels around the world.

As Malo himself puts it, "We've traveled around the world, gathering new stories and new sounds, and this is what we have to show for it." The Mavericks' performance promises to be a sonic exploration of their past, present, and future, making this a night not to be missed. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, The Mavericks’ dynamic energy and boundary-pushing sound will leave you dancing the night away.

Get ready for a night filled with rhythm, soul, and stories from the universe as The Mavericks take the stage in Sugarland.
