&#; Raul Malo, lead singer of The Mavericks

The Mavericks are back. The country-steeped garage band with a Cuban American lead singer, emerged from Miami with their sultry debut that was equal parts innocence, intensity and vintage influences. But time has a way of melting when you&#;re busy living life – and two decades has passed since their polyrhythmic brand of post-modern country has given the world &#;All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down,&#; &#;Here Comes The Rain&#; and &#;Dance The Night Away.&#;

With their new album, time melts once again and the band that defied definitions, blurred genres and made everybody feel good, is back. The &#;most interesting band in the world&#; has captured the infectious energy and robust sound from their LIVE shows on their first release on The Valory Music Co., IN TIME. Whether it&#;s the Buck Owens-influenced &#;Dance In The Moonlight,&#; the panoramic Orbison-esque &#;Born To Be Blue,&#; the horn-punctuated retro noir &#;Back In Your Arms Again&#; or Tejano-esque &#;All Over Again,&#; the Mavericks have once again found the way to make soul music and sole music.

For Malo, the lead singer with the rich supple voice that&#;s second to only Roy Orbison in its ability to convey lonesome, desire and vivre; drummer Paul Deakin and multi-instrumentalist Robert Reynolds; as well as longtime collaborator keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden and seasoned guitarist Eddie Perez, life has made them richer in terms of experience, playing acumen and a sense of their own musicality. It has also deepened the connection between them in a way that heightens the singular chemistry that made the Grammy-winning band one of the most exciting live propositions in any musical genre.

This Saturday at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, the Mavericks will make their first bona-fide concert appearance in nearly seven years.

The show by the revered and genre-defying band is being billed as a reunion and constitutes one of the marquee special facets of this year’s festival in the desert. It’s also a standout moment for the band, whose members are coming back together after a turbulent career run that began with a rewarding string of albums and singles in the ‘90s but ended in frustration when their label dropped them and the group disbanded.

A previous reunion, instigated by contractual obligations, proved unsatisfying for the band and led to its recent hiatus. Members spent much of the past seven years pursuing solo interests.

“You’re so close to your band mates for so long, and you’ve been through so much together,” said Raul Malo, the group’s lead singer and widely acclaimed as one of the most captivating singers in pop music since Roy Orbison parlayed his operatically inclined pipes into hit after hit in the early s. “You’ve gone through all the cycles: through brotherhood, to being sworn enemies and then coming full circle.”

That circle includes a new album, due this fall, the creation of which band members say has reconnected them with the no-borders spirit that first drew them together in Miami nearly 25 years ago.

“We didn’t want to just do a reunion tour — we wanted to make a new record, and make a really good new record,” said Malo, “The end result was really fantastic, [and] it was really on a whole other musical level than we have ever touched upon before.”

That’s saying a lot given the anything-goes sensibility that set the Mavericks’ apart from the Nashville crowd on the release of its major-label debut two decades ago, “From Hell to Paradise.” The group ingested and then reimagined a broad swath of pop music, from the traditional country of Merle Haggard and

The Mavericks are back. The country-steeped garage band with a Cuban American lead singer that had emerged from Miami in with their sultry debut that was equal parts innocence, intensity, and vintage influences has reunited in after an eight-year hiatus. Time has a way of melting when you’re busy living life – and two decades have passed since their polyrhythmic brand of post-modern country has given the world “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down,” “Here Comes The Rain,” and “Dance The Night Away.”

With their new album, time melts once again, and the band that defied definitions, blurred genres, and made everybody feel good is back. The “most interesting band in the world” has 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-esque “All Over Again” show that the Mavericks have once again found the way to make genre-defying soul music.

For Raul Malo, the lead singer with the rich supple voice that’s second to only Roy Orbison in its ability to convey lonesomeness, desire, and vivre; drummer Paul Deakin and multi-instrumentalist Robert Reynolds; as well as longtime collaborator keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden and seasoned guitarist Eddie Perez, life has become richer in terms of experience, playing acumen, and a sense of their own musicality. It has also deepened the connection between them in a way that heightens the singular chemistry that made the Grammy-winning band one of the most exciting live acts in any musical genre.

“Maybe the space has given us a sense not of how it can happen, but what can happen when we come together,” says Deakin, who has spent the years apart balancing master-level
