Maverick was the first music magazine I ever bought; I remember feeling as though I had uncovered a whole new world filled with hidden musical treasures. I found the Maverick Team unbelievably committed, passionate and supportive of the artists they chose to write about. I was relieved to find a magazine that explored different sounds not only country music but Americana, folk, bluegrass...extremely refreshing to read articles open to all styles and sounds. Maverick Magazine opened a lot of doors for alt-country artists when it began over 100 copies ago! We must continue supporting our independent publications, especially Maverick. It is no ordinary magazine, they see no boundaries, they take risks for their readers, they're not afraid to explore new genres, and most of all they have guts!''

What makes Maverick so different and interesting is exactly the fact that you don’t just cover mainstream Nashville ‘country music’. The reason I buy it and read it on a monthly basis is that I know I will be ble to read some articles on more mainstream country, but also I know that I will be able to discover some new and interesting music, be that alt.country, bluegrass, blues or singer-songwriter. What a bland publication it would be if it only covered those big household names of American/Canadian country music. Ha ha...after all, you did decide to call it Maverick magazine didn’t you! Maverick means: ‘a person who thinks and acts in an independent way, often behaving differently from the expected or usual way’. All the best and keep up the good work!
