The Mavericks
The Music Lives On Tour
GRAMMY® & CMA Award-winning genre-defying band, The Mavericks, will honor their beloved leader Raul Malo with a return to the Ruth Eckerd Hall stage for The Music Lives On Tour, featuring lead vocals from acclaimed artists James Otto and Emily West!
Any band that manages to survive three decades, seeing its core members go from young adults to veteran musicians is bound to have its swings and cycles. The Mavericks, the eclectic rock and country group known for crisscrossing musical boundaries with abandon, has gone through three distinct phases since it was founded in 1989. An initial period of heady success marked by big hits and critical acclaim in the ‘90s. A long hiatus starting 2003 when the musicians each went their own way. And finally, a triumphant reunion in 2012 which held long enough for them to recently celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary. Some of their biggest hits include Dance the Night Away, All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down, What A Crying Shame and Here Comes the Rain.
