Raul Malo - former frontman and lead singer for The Mavericks, one of the top country bands of the '90s - is now a successful solo artist whose acoustic concerts reflect not only his Cuban upbringing and country roots but his more fiery influences from calypso and carnival to salsa and jazz. Following the 2006 release of his critically embraced album You're Only Lonely, Salon.com noted that the gifted singer, songwriter, guitarist and Grammy-winner's recording was "reminiscent of Frank Sinatra's classic late-night albums." Esquire magazine dubbed Malo "the greatest country-rock crooner since Roy Orbison." See Raul Malo at The State in an intimate evening of vocals covering everything from romantic standards and Tex-Mex rock to kitschy '60s cocktail pop to strait-up, traditional Cuban and South American music.
