The Miami-born band reunited in 2012 reigniting their fusion of Latino and American music.

ѻýWeѻýre going to be bringing stuff out from the very early material right up to the most current,ѻý said guitarist and long-time Maverick Eddie Perez.

ѻýAnd weѻýre going to present that in a way thatѻýs a little special. A real production, shall we say!ѻý

Since the band reunited, they promised they would never become a ѻýnostalgia act.ѻý

ѻýIѻým not one to look back, I never have been,ѻý said co-founder, singer and key songwriter Raul Malo. ѻýI always want to move forward with our music and look to the future, and our fans want that too ѻý they always respond really well to every new album.

ѻýBut if you canѻýt celebrate 30 years in such a tough business as the music industry, what can you celebrate? Iѻým proud that weѻýve made our mark and itѻýs good to celebrate that. I think weѻýve found the perfect way to mark these 30 years without thinking only about the past and Iѻým really excited to get out and play these shows.ѻý

In 1996 the group won a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for their song Here Comes the Rain. The track also reached number four on the Canadian country charts.

Tickets for the show are available .
