Miami formed and long-time Nashville based, genre-bending Americana icons THE MAVERICKS have announced details today on their highly anticipated new album “Moon & Stars”. Set for release on May 17th via the band’s own Mono Mundo Recordings imprint in conjunction with Thirty Tigers, the award winning group’s 13th studio album marks their first new music release since 2020’s groundbreaking and chart topping “En Espanol” project, and their first return to a full English language release since their acclaimed “Brand New Day” album in 2017.
“This record has been a journey of reflection, introspection, patience, learning and evolving. Some of these songs were written years ago, but they weren’t ready. Or maybe we weren’t. We are now…” – THE MAVERICKS via Instagram
Already known for their distinctive and eclectic Americana / Roots fusion of Alternative & Outlaw Country, Rock, Blues, R&B and Tejano/Tex-Mex influences, The Mavericks quite appropriately recorded the tracks of “Moon & Stars” across the country in Blackbird Studio (Nashville, Tennessee), Frogville Studios (Santa Fe, New Mexico) and Dockside Studio (Maurice, Louisiana). The result is a long-awaited album that instantly invokes both a timeless feel of a classic Mavericks release that will fit seamlessly among their most revered career work, while once again challenging genre conventions and pushing the boundaries of their melting pot sound ever forward.
First single and title track “Moon & Stars (with Sierra Ferrell)” will be released this Friday, March 1st (with advance press copies available by request) and simultaneously launch the album’s Pre-Save availability across all major DSPs, and Pre-Orders for physical CDs and vinyl. Additional special featured guests on the album will include Maggie Rose, Nicole Atkins, and the band’s own ‘Fantastic Five’ member Max Abrams. Song co-writers with THE MAVERICKS also include Bernie Taupin, Sam Hollander, Wally Wilson, and more.
Watch for additional singles from “Moon & Stars” to be released in late March and April, with THE MAVERICKS already giving live previews of select songs in their ongoing live touring – with special upcoming highlights set to include a highly-anticipated hometown Miami return on March 15th, and the band’s April/May tour throughout Europe. Look For Their New Moon & Stars Tour To Begin May 17 & 18.
