TCU Place welcomes The Mavericks

-

TCU Place welcomes the Mavericks, Oct. 21, 2017. The genre-defying Mavericks are declaring their independen­ce and stepping out on their own with Brand New Day, the first studio album released on Mono Mundo Recordings, the label they founded in 2016. Brand New Day is the follow-up to the widely praised albums Mono (2015) and In Time (2013).

Flashing the same exhilarati­ng, beyond-category style that has defined the Mavericks, the new album introduces a collection of taut, energetic, economical songs sure to be embraced by both original fans of their top-10 albums and hit singles of the ‘90s and a new generation of listeners who have joined the party since their triumphant 2012 reunion. It is the mature and timely work of an exciting and underestim­ated American band that has embraced its own destiny.

“This is the first studio record on our own label, and it is an important component in the band’s history,” Malo says, “but the real goal was just to make a great record.” Brand New Day flexes the category-defying approach that has been a unique hallmark of the Mavericks’ sound since the band’ s top -20 hits on the country charts. The album’s 10 new songs seamlessly merge strains of Tex-Mex, Cuban bolero, R&B, blues, country, and rock ‘n’ roll.

The Mavericks perform Oct. 21 at 8:30 p.m. at TCU Place. Tickets are available at www.tcutickets.ca.
