Mavericks reunion announced

Raul Malo confirmed Dec. 9, 2011 during his performance at Godfrey Daniels Coffeehouse (Bethlehem PA) that the band will reunite next Spring for a tour and possible recording.  This follows reports from several media sources* and, responding to a shouted audience question "What's the tour schedule?" Raul said with a smile, "You'll know when I know!"  

One date, at this point the opening event of the reunion, is confirmed:  Stagecoach { http://www.stagecoachfestival.com/ } from April 27-29, 2012, although it's possible that a few small preview shows will precede that.  One can hope.  One can wish that one lived in Nashville, too.

Initial band lineup is reported to consist of Raul Malo, Paul Deakin, Robert Reynolds and Eddie Perez, which is the core of the group as of their last show together some years ago. 

Welcome back, Mavs and fans!
