RBC Bluesfest Ottawa

The Mavericks are a rare gem — a country-steeped garage band with a Cuban-American lead singer. They emerged from Miami in 1989 with a sultry debut that was equal parts innocence and intensity with vintage influences. More than two decades have passed since their polyrhythmic brand of post-modern country gave the world “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down,” “Here Comes The Rain,” and “Dance The Night Away.”  

With their new album, the band that has defied definitions, blurred genres, and made everybody feel good is back. Sometimes referred to as “the most interesting band in the world” the Mavericks have captured the infectious energy and robust sound from their live shows on their new Valory Music release ‘In Time’. Songs like “Dance In The Moonlight,” the Orbison-esque “Born To Be Blue,” the horn-punctuated retro noir “Back In Your Arms Again,” and the Tejano-tinged “All Over Again” show that the Mavericks have once again found the way to make genre-defying soul music. Get a taste of it at this year's RBC Bluesfest!
