The Mavericks
2023-06-05 19:30 - 21:30 | Showplace Performance Centre, 290 George St N, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H2
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 Miami 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. Now, The Mavericks have ushered in the fourth phase of their evolution with the #1Billboard debut of their first-ever, all Spanish album, En Español, released on the band’s own Mono Mundo label. Although all 12 tracks are in Spanish, as the title suggests, the collection represents a diversity of musical styles and cultural traditions, from tender boleros to brassy mariachi to reimagined Afro-Cuban classics. Seven of the tunes are familiar gems drawn from the vast Latin American songbook, while five are originals written or co-written by Malo. Like the band’s entire body of music, this one album cannot be boxed into a single category. The songs are as diverse as Latin America itself, and as cohesive as the ideal of the American melting pot. To season this rich musical paella, The Mavericks add their signature country/rock/Tex-Mex

“I Walk the Line”, “Pretty Woman”, “Ring of Fire”, “Crying”, “Folsom Prison Blues”, “Only the Lonely”, plus many others are just a few of the songs you will hear.

In addition, the two performers will share stories and events from Johnny & Roy’s lives as friends and musical collaborators.
Also, to add to the enjoyment, an added performer, Kathy Thompson, will duet with both Aaron and Dave. Always an audience pleaser!
To sum it up, this not to be missed show is one you need to mark on your calendar.
