THE MAVERICKS continue to deliver with a one-of-a-kind musical fusion – Bold. Sheer. Eclectic. Last night (9/16), the dynamic entertainers took home the Americana Music Awards Duo/Group of the Year, presented to them by The Milk Carton Kids. RAUL MALO, whose signature tenor fronts The Mavericks, and his musical comrades – PAUL DEAKIN (Drums, Percussion and Marimba), EDDIE PEREZ (Electric and Acoustic Guitars) and JERRY DALE MCFADDEN (Piano, Organ, Celeste) – serenaded the audience with the gut-wrenching honesty of “Pardon Me.” The sobering track is featured on the critically-acclaimed MONO (The Valory Music Co.), which sat atop the Americana Airplay Charts for two weeks earlier this year. Commanding from the ceremony, NPR Music Critic Ann Powers tweeted, “The Mavericks Mono is genuinely an album you should listen to tonight BC it is great.”
