(November 19, 2014) – Making magic in the studio and delivering their
genre-defying sound to live audiences over the last two decades, THE MAVERICKS will release MONO (The
Valory Music Co.) on February 17, 2015 and embark on their one world
themed tour on February 19, 2015. The Grammy-winning band first shared
the exciting news from the Ryman Auditorium stage during their Grand Ole
Opry® performance last night, where they previewed some of the fresh material. Get a sneak peek here.

The new album and international dates follow The Mavericks triumphant return in 2013: critically-acclaimed IN TIME, Twenty-Five Live Tour as well as major national TV appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CBS This Morning Saturday and a PBS Special.
A flurry of buzz elicited a hunger for more music, more signature swagger … more of The Mavericks. The Village Voice blatantly stated, “in a word or three, the Mavericks are cool as sh*t,” while No Depression insisted, “…the energy of a locomotive barreling down a track at a hundred miles an hour. The chemistry between these guys is so good...” Fans from the US, Canada, London, Australia, Scotland and places in between turned out for their exhilarating run of live shows throughout the last year of headline dates.
“This band has always defied the odds and expectations…a Country band from Miami with a Cuban singer? But it works, because people feel the passion,” explained The Mavericks' guitarist Eddie Perez.
More MONO details and tour stops will be announced in the coming weeks. For up-to-date information, visit themavericksband.com.
ABOUT THE MAVERICKS: With a Cuban-American lead singer, garage band ferocity, an intense live show and a deep love of both romance and pure country to go with the polyrhythmic beats The Mavericks were raised on, they were unlikely superstars. Yet, their raucous sound broke ground for the Country format with hits like “Here Comes The Rain,” “Crying Shame,” “Dance The Night Away” and “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down” and scored the group industry awards in prestigious categories like Vocal Group and Album of the Year. An indefinite divergence in 2004 led members Raul Malo, Paul Deakin and Eddie Perez and Jerry Dale McFadden in different directions until the 2013 release of IN TIME (The Valory Music Co.) and subsequent touring. Their first album and major tour in nearly twenty years topped many critics’ Best Of lists, including American Songwriter, The Boston Globe, NPR, Los Angeles Times and New York Magazine. The Mavericks’ music has most recently been featured in the movie GRUDGE MATCH and ABC’s NASHVILLE.
