The Phat Mavericks

About Me

"Zebra Gazebo, is a clever cross-generational party that wraps up rockabilly, raggae-fied melodies, tropically inclined pop, swing and modest hip-hop accents in one bright, melodic package."
-Walter Tunis (Contributing Music Writer, The Lexington Herald Leader)
!!!!!!ZEBRA GAZEBO!!!!! our debut album tells the tale of our most faithful fan, Herman Zebraski, originally from Ethiopia he's trying to fit into city life, this is a tale of rejection, hate, pain, depression, joy, fun, love, success, and finally acceptance!!! It also includes 13 tracks of pure listening enjoyment so don't forget to pick it up at CD central ($10) or contact us directly and we'll get you a copy any way we can, thanks for your support!!!!
The Phat Mavericks were forged out of a pizza oven 3 years ago, they play as many shows as possible and make sure everyone has a great time! They love seeing the crowd dance so be sure to stand up and let it all out! Don't be shy, be the first one on the dance floor and move your feet! Thanks to everyone for listening, see you at our next show!
