Canales declared the day “The Mavericks Day” at the event, held at the downtown gallery PRODUCE.
Canales recognized the band for their long history and collaboration with El Dusty, a Corpus Christi native.
Canales envisions bringing more art and music culture to Corpus Christi.
Canales picked Feb. 5 for the proclamation because the band kicked off their 2022 world tour the same day in Corpus Christi.

Never heard of The Mavericks, but congratulations to them. I always love seeing artists being uplifted by others, especially by those with a public platform.
Amazing story! Well written!
Awesome! Great story, great talent.
