Mayer Hawthorne
Wednesday 29th February @ Corner Hotel, Richmond
Mayer Hawthorne is no stranger to our shores and he returns with his band to spread the sunshine vibes of LA whilst maintaining the spirit of his hometown Detroit this February to celebrate his brand new album How Do You Do?
Mayer confirms what the underground has known for years; this singer-producer can channel the best of soul, funk, disco and yacht rock in to an inimitable 2012 blend. How Do You Do? is a far greater amalgamation of his influences (like Brian Wilson, Michael Macdonald and Marvin Gaye) than found on his popular debut A Strange Arrangement.
