    The Mavericks & Friends

    Royal Oak Music Theatre 318 W 4th St, Royal Oak, MI, United States

    The music lives on. For three decades, The Mavericks carved out their Grammy-winning sound — a multicultural version of American roots music, blending stateside influences like country and rock & roll with the border-crossing textures of Cuban grooves, Tex-Mex twang, and Latin swagger — under the direction of Raul Malo. Raul wasn't just the band's frontman; he was its larger-than-life patriarch, with a booming baritone hailed by Rolling Stone as "operatic, spiritual, casually elegant, and wholly captivating." With help from musicians like Paul Deakin, Robert Reynolds, Eddie Perez, and Jerry Dale McFadden, Malo turned The Mavericks into modern-day legends on their own terms.

    The Minor Pieces

    The Ark 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    Blending Americana, folk, and roots rock, The Minor Pieces create a night of music that feels as good as that second, or maybe third drink. Soulful vocals and smooth guitar drive songs that feel both timeless and modern. They pull from a wide range of influences to find a sound that lives somewhere in the neighborhood of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, The Red Clay Strays, and Wilco.
