The smoothest white boy in funk, Mayer Hawthorne stunned audiences worldwide last year with his very excellent and totally brilliant debut, A Strange Arrangement. Boasting some of the sweetest licks this side of Marvin Gaye and the attitude to match, Hawthorne, who signed with the prestigious Stone’s Throw label in the States, will visit Australia for the first time with a full band in tow. You should know, however, that the guy can play pretty much every instrument on the block, and he’s known to indulge that talent on stage. A very special talent who has already been noticed by trendsetters across the globe, Hawthorne’s premier Australian visit is sure to have your toes tapping to the fresh new sounds of the old school persuasion.
