Tickets have just gone on sale.
Founded more than 25 years ago by Raul Malo and drummer Paul Deakin, The Mavericks are known for their stage chemistry and live show. Some of their most recent albums include 2013’s In Time and 2015’s Mono, with their latest outing 2020’s all-Spanish En Español. Their biggest hits over the decade include “Born to Be Blue", "What a Crying Shame", "All That Heaven Will Allow", and "Dance the Night Away".
Los Lobos is perhaps best known for the movie La Bamba, but their album Kiko in 1992 paved the way for the band becoming one of the most adventurous roots acts in America.
