NASHVILLE, Tenn. – GRAMMY®-nominated, CMA and EMMY Award–winning, and Grand Ole Opry member T. Graham Brown brings a special encore presentation of LIVE WIRE to SiriusXM’s Prime Country Channel 58, honoring the life and legacy of Raul Malo of The Mavericks, who passed away on December 8 following a battle with colon cancer.

Led by Malo’s unmistakable voice and songwriting, the group built a decades-long career marked by multiple No. 1 singles, CMA and ACM honors, and international acclaim.
“Brother Raul Malo has passed away,” shares Brown. “He battled cancer valiantly and never gave up. He was a dear friend and a great human being. He led his band, The Mavericks, for almost 40 years. He was a soulful dude, an innovator and rule breaker. He could do it all and do it well. The entire music community is grieving. Please, pray for his family and loved ones. Rest in peace, old buddy.”
