The Mavericks’ 2nd annual “Dance The Night Away: A Musical Celebration Honoring Raul Malo” will take place Dec. 4-5 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
The two-night celebration came to fruition last year when a battle with cancer took Mavericks frontman Malo off the road, and the band rallied to fill his final hours on earth with song and celebration. Special guests for the shows, which will serve to celebrate the life, music and legacy of The Mavericks’ fearless leader, will be announced soon.
“I’m so thrilled to be coming back to the Ryman Auditorium again this year to celebrate and honor our dear brother Raul Malo,” says guitarist/vocalist Eddie Perez. “These Mavericks & Friends shows are amongst the most profound and special shows that we do all year and I’m really looking forward to the dates! It’s going to be a big beautiful weekend at the Mother Church!”
“Dance The Night Away” will cap off a year spent celebrating Malo’s legacy with “The Mavericks & Friends,” a nationwide tour combining a unique version of The Mavericks’ past and present lineups with rotating guest vocalists. Featuring Paul Deakin, Robert Reynolds, Eddie Perez, and Jerry Dale McFadden, the tour kicks off this week with guest vocalists James Otto and Emily West and will include stops in Kansas City, Durham, Charleston, Austin, Fort Lauderdale and many more. The ever-evolving live show will showcase the band’s catalog, while saluting Raul Malo’s once-in-a-generation impact and kickstarting a new chapter of The Mavericks’ unfolding story.
