About

A member of Athletic Mic League and Now On, Ann Arbor native and longtime eclectic DJ/producer Andrew Cohen began recording soul-seeped material as something of a joke, not planning on it to reach beyond his circle of friends and family. Mayer Hawthorne, the pseudonym Cohen used for the songs, eventually took on a life of its own. When a couple Hawthorne songs were played for Peanut Butter Wolf, the Stones Throw label head was baffled; he initially thought he could have been hearing re-edits of obscure late-'60s/early-'70s soul singles, not the work of a multi-instrumentalist who laid everything down himself. Subsequently signed to Stones Throw, Cohen debuted Hawthorne with "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" b/w "When I Said Goodbye," a pair of scratchy and bittersweet tales of heartache, on red, heart-shaped 7" vinyl. The "Maybe So, Maybe No" 12" followed shortly thereafter, which preceded the full-length A Strange Arrangement, released during fall 2009. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

  • Got my "soul on"

    by Katelovesrocknroll on 2/3/14Hollywood Palladium - HollywoodRating: 5 out of 5

    Mayer Hawthorne was amazing live! He was energetic with sex appeal and had that smooth aura that only people who's got their souls in their veins project. Crowd was also lively. He sang mostly songs from the latest album which was fine with me cause that's what I loved the most but also did some mash up of Poison and Walk This Way that got the crowd hyped up including myself. The only thing that annoyed me was the venue itself that it charged $20 for parking and it's not even vallet. But yeah Im a fan of Mayer for life now!!!

  • Mayer Hawthorne- awesome!

    by DFiddy on 2/3/14Hollywood Palladium - HollywoodRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show! Mayer and the band killed, and good openers too.

  • WOW!!!

    Mayer Hawthorne was great! Great set and great combo of old and new stuff!

  • Mayer Hawthorne is amazing

    by KylaE on 9/10/13The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    Mayer Hawthorne and his band were amazing, just as I expected. They were funny, they were gorgeous, they were so musically talented. He even played bartender for two audience members and then we got to be a part My only problem was how long he took to start. After they took down the opener's set, it was almost an hour before MH and the band started, which was a long time to stand around. The opening group, the Superhumanoids, were also great. They were very talented and fresh, but my only criticism is that they weren't a great opener because their music is kind of slow and sleepy, so it really didn't pump up the crownd at all. However, it was still good.

  • Mayer and Questlove - are you kidding me?

    by Lindybop on 7/22/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    An unbelievable combo - DJ set by Questlove had us all groovin' to the beat; Mayer & band were perfection.

  • Go see Mayer Hawthorne

    by BillyNJ on 7/18/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    So much fun. I dare you to go see him and not have fun or not dance, because it's impossible. Can't wait to see him again!

  • Mayer Hawthorne rOcked!

    by Dimps02 on 7/18/13Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    He puts on a great show and engages the audience. I like his upbeat stuff more, but he does play a variety. Great performance!

  • A perfect concert

    by MoeJoe87 on 10/23/12Bluebird Nightclub - BloomingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Mayer Hawthorne put on a fabulous show at a great venue. I drove an hour from Indy to Bloomington and sacrificed precious sleep to see the show and it was worth every sacrifice! He interacted with the crowd and played every song I wanted to hear.

  • Mayer Hawthorne : All I expected and more........

    by PapaHautean on 10/19/12Bluebird Nightclub - BloomingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    The band was tight, the singing extraordinary and the showmanship superb.

  • A blast from the past

    by RockingG2 on 5/6/12Saenger Theatre Mobile - MobileRating: 5 out of 5

    Get rid of the light show, it was like they were playing in a small dance club. They are great musicians.

    by NbAa on 12/25/10Majestic Theatre - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5

    Danced the store concert with 1000 people. He has a funny sense of humor, good songs,a great show.

  • Fantastic!

    by MademoiselleClaireMarie on 12/25/10Majestic Theatre - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5

    This concert exceeded my expectations! Mayer Hawthorne is just as good (or better) live than his recordings. One of the best, if not the best concert I've been to.

  • Amazing show....Must see!!!!

    by Javaughn on 12/25/10Majestic Theatre - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5
