Hire: the Mavericks
GRAMMY award-winning The Mavericks were formed in Miami, Florida, in 1989 by lead vocalist Raul Malo, bassist Robert Reynolds, guitarist Ben Peeler, and drummer Paul Deakin. Their unique sound emerged from blending country music with rock, pop, and Latin influences. The band performed in small venues, quickly gaining a local following before signing with MCA Records in the early 1990s.
Breakthrough and Chart Success
In 1992, The Mavericks released their major-label debut album, From Hell to Paradise, which showcased their genre-defying style. However, it was their 1994 album, What a Crying Shame, that brought them mainstream success. The album featured hits like “O What a Thrill” and “There Goes My Heart,” cementing their reputation as trailblazers in the country and Americana genres.

Iconic Sound and Touring
The band’s signature fusion of country, rockabilly, Tex-Mex, and Cuban influences set them apart from other acts of the era. Their high-energy performances and Malo’s powerful vocals made them a sought-after live act. The 1995 album Music for All Occasions included hits like “Here Comes the Rain,” which earned them a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group.
Hiatus and Solo Ventures
Despite their success, The Mavericks faced internal conflicts and took a hiatus in 2003. Raul Malo embarked on a successful solo career, exploring his Cuban heritage through his music. Meanwhile, other members pursued individual projects.
Reunion and Reinvention
The band reunited in 2012, releasing In Time in 2013, which received critical acclaim for its vibrant and eclectic sound. This album reaffirmed their place in the music world, with tracks like “Back in Your Arms Again” and “Come Unto Me” showcasing their renewed creativity.
Continued Innovation
The Mavericks continued to evolve, releasing albums like Mono (2015) and Brand New Day (2017). In 2020, they made history with En Español, their first all-Spanish album, paying homage to their Latin roots. The album was a critical and commercial success, further broadening their appeal.
Legacy and Recognition
The Mavericks are celebrated for their ability to transcend musical boundaries, earning numerous awards, including a Grammy and several CMA and ACM accolades. They remain a beloved and influential band in the Americana and country scenes.
Present Day
The Mavericks continue to tour and release new music, delighting fans with their innovative approach and vibrant live shows. They are a testament to the power of genre fusion and remain a cornerstone of modern Americana music.
Their discography includes 12 studio albums, six compilation albums, three live albums, and one EP.
