Mayer Hawthorne

My first time seeing Mayer Hawthorne and definitely ready to again! The only way I can really describe his show and music is soulful, smooth and sophisticated!

This concert was one of the best I have been to in a while. Hawthorne put on an amazing concert and kept everyone up and moving from the very first second his band came on stage till the second he walked off to a roaring applause. I hope that he comes back to amaze and "wow" New York for a very long time!

The entire concert was amazing! Great performance! Fan for life!

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.

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

This was my first Mayer Hawthorne concert - not only is he a great singer live, he puts on a fun show. I would definitely recommend you see him live! I bought tickets to see him again tomorrow in Sacramento AND I'm lucky enough he's opening for Foster the People later this month. :D

For knowing very little about Mayer, just recently purchasing his CD and getting to know his music, I'M IN LOVE!! His soulful sound, his classy look, he had me at The Walk! :) That was one of THE BEST concerts I'd been to in a long time, definately a crowd pleaser and a booty shaker kinda guy...

It was a rockin', funky, good old time at the Filmore.

He freaking rocked The Fillmore. Best concert I've been to this year! Everyone should see him live!

If there is anyone that is considering seeing Mayer Hawthorne, I highly recommend that you see him! What a fantastic performer, so dirverse - AMAZING show!! I can't wait for Mayer and the band to come though SF again!

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

Very personable guy after the show. Band was awesome

He's worth going to see. Hopefully in late 2012/early 2013 he can headline his own tour. Very friendly with the fans; will sign memorabilia and thank you for attending in person. It would be nice if members of The County would greet the fans as well. MH can get it, too.

Mayer Hawthorne continues to impress. Always a great show!! The Majestic was the perfect venue.

We really enjoyed seeing Mayer Hawthorne at the Majestic. They put on a solid, fun show and the Majestic is a nice venue.

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

Band is amazing!!!!!! Also I loved that they did a cover of Empire of the Sun's "We are the People."

Very high energy show! I had no idea of the range of this band and what a talented guitar player Mayer is. Great venue, great band, overall fantastic experience! A must see show!

Third time for us to see Mayer Hawthorne and the quality of the set and stage presence get better each time! One problem with sound, the engineers had Meyer Sound fill in speakers on the stage to help us up front hear better but they never turned them on! You could hear the on-stage amps and the drums but the vocals from the FOH speakers were drowned out by the stage amps! Big mistake as this was my only complaint with the show

What a show. It was Awesome. Saenger is a great venue.

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.

The Fillmore was easy to get to, clean, and even being in the balcony, the view was great! It's intimate, but not closed in. The sound was good, and the staff was friendly.

I cannot stress enough how much fun Mayer makes a night with his endless charisma and breathtaking talent. Everyone at the Venue was a die hard fan and if they weren't I am sure they were made into one! That being said the night was dampened by how rude some of the higher staff at the venue were. The opener was talented in his own right but I personally felt he lacked the power to pump up any audience. Finally I experienced going through hell and back over getting cheated out of a better experience which greatly upset me. Had staff taken better steps I would feel differently about the whole event.

Great show, lots of fun. Mayer Hawthorne is an amazingly talented performer.

MH puts on a really great show.....25 songs! Great energy. Unfortunately MH was undermiked and the bass was so high your organs vibrated. Really interfered with the enjoyment of the show.

The 3rd time I've seem MH in NYC. The pre show music, using the term loosely, was terrible! What were they thinking? Mediocre DJ at best and a 3rd rate organ/singer that was aggrevating. Everyone near me was dumbfounded, how could MH approve of this scowling? MH was decent but the sound was cleaner at Webster Hall. Not sure how much of this was due to his new music, but it was a let down. The sound was overly blended and not as distinct as the other times. The energy level was good and I would likely see MH again.

I've been to a lot of shows in my life but none that had the energy of Mayer Hawthorne on Friday night. From the DJ to the opening act, Terminal 5 was moving!

Mayer was great and so was his band. My one complaint was Mayer should fire his sound guy unless the guy came from the club. Bass player(Gene Simmons) and drummer where far to loud. This caused Mayer's and his backup singer's vocals to be lost for most of the night. His voice is a strong falsetto. You want to hear his singing and lyrics.

Third time seeing Mayer Hawthorne Iand he is simply a pleasure to listen to and watch perform. Mayer is the best artist to come along on years. I listen to his music at home, in the car and at work. I've been going to concerts since the 60's and he is one of the best. Can't wait to see him again.

Mayer put on a great show. Full of energy, crammed in as many songs as possible. His band was top notch. The Paradise, however, thought it would be a good idea to make the audience listen to their insufferable house DJ for AN HOUR before the show started. The opening act, mind you, only played for 30 minutes and Mayer's set was 75 min. The DJ had no talent and couldn't mix songs to save his life. People were plugging their ears, sitting on the floor, and playing games on their phones. It was tiring to listen to. TL;DR: Mayer was great, the Paradise should fire their house DJ

awesome show.... worth the 2 1/2 hr drive from ct!!!

This is my second show watching Mayer Hawthorne perform. Both shows were entertaining and a lot of fun. The whole crew were great! I would definitely watch his concert again and hopefully soon! I ordered the vinyl package that came with the two shot glass and the mini vinyl and his tshirt. Comfortable! Although it shrank a lot I will still wear it. Overall, I had a fantastic time!

Fun performer and great sound! He's very talented as well as his band.

This was one of the best concerts I've been to. Love shows with live bands. Can't wait till they come back to the bay area. I didn't want the show to end.

My two friends and I had a blast at this concert. The venue, the lighting, the music... It all came together like it was meant to be. And it was! As the songs continued, more and more people came closer and closer to the stage. It was drawing them in, we all were craving more. Everyone had ample dancing room along with very nice waitresses selling drinks in the standing room only areas. All in all, an amazing performance by the opener and headliner. Definitely a must see. And a must to experience. Thank you Fox Theater for providing this unforgettable night of my life.

Mayer Hawthorne is the funkiest brother to do the damn thing.

I thought sound would get better after the DJ and opening act, but alas, not. Things were so bad, we left early after only 25 minutes of Meyer Hawthorne's performance. We had really been looking forward to seeing him for the first time,but just couldn't take the punishment

As always Mr Hawthorne set starts with a familiar song and quickly moves into his new album, he did a great set merging some older music to a James Brown tempo had the crowd really moving! Following up with some of older and newer music, he and his band are excellent! This is the second time seeing him and her never disappoints!!

A white boy with pure soul...loved his band - loved the venue - cool vibe with really good energy. Didn't know that there would be two warm ups and that the show didn't actually start until 9:30 - wouldn't have hurried through dinner to make the event. We will definitely return when Mayer does!! Hurry back!

excellent concert show...........................if you forget about the wait! Show was to start at 8pm, the opening act didn't start until 9! And for a standing room GA fee that's a loooooong time to be standing waiting for the show to start beginning to end. that's my only complaint, like I said the show itself was excellent!

Parents night out for 8 of us and we wanted to make sure we had a good night. Thank you Mayer Hawthorne! You did. It disappoint! Your show was amazing! Everything was perfect! You were on time, the price we paid was reasonable, the venue was beautiful, it was on a First Friday's event in Oakland where we were able to walk around and get some food before hand, and you're show was amazing! Not to mention he played over about 20 minutes than what he was supposed to! I had the greatest time! It was such a fun experience. I'd do it all over again! Still smiling from ear to ear!

I've seen Mayer Hawthorne in the past, but once again he just topped himself. What a great show definitely a must see, I would pay and travel to see this again!!!!

Mayer Hawthorne is an amazing artist and put on a great show. All his music is catchy and makes you want to get up and dance. I recommend him to anybody that locks old school Soul/R&B.

Finally got an opportunity to see Mayer, and he did not disappoint! I took my nephew with me, and he was blown away by the show! Perfect mix of his library too, although being a big fan there were a few songs I'd love to have heard performed! Can't wait to see him again, and Tuxedo as well! He sounded excellent live!

Mayer Hawthorne's concert was a very disappointing! I was really looking forward to this show but it was so loud that it really diminished the quality of the musicianship. Couldn't hear the lyrics through all the pounding bass and it just sucked the life and fun right out of it.

What a great show! All three sets were great. Production was sharp and not a lot of lag time between sets. What an effort my Mayor Hawthorne. My only request is that he would play at a seating venue. The standing makes for a very long night. Once again, great show!

Nice place. We were standing up and danced the whole time. :)

First time seeing Mayer Hawthorne, and all 3 'incarnations' were amazing. The Teragram Ballroom was a great SRO venue, and the crowd was incredibly energetic and appreciative. Such a good show! I will go to see him again! Only (minor) complaint is that his mic was on too low for some songs.

Coming into the venue was great, it was really close to the life is beautiful festival which as really nice. I'm always excited to see Mayer perform and was even more happy when I saw him in the lineup. When I got inside , check in was easy. The security guards were real chill and nice. There were a few people at first, but more started to come in. The lighting made the setting comfortable. The band as always was on point and real dope.

I cannot believe how inexpensive it was to see this man. He is such a true artist and performer that I couldn't believe he wasn't at a much bigger venue. I aboslutely love the outfits Mayer and his band had on. They all looked so good! I have been a big fan of Mayer Hawthorne for years and I can now check it off my bucket list that I have seen him. His music continues to get better and I am truly glad I got this opportunity to see him life. His voice is sick! The band is sick! The choreograph was adorable! And the songs are sick! 5 stars definitely. I Can't wait to see him again.

I have loved him for so long but never seen him perform. Definitely worth it!!! Him and his band were so entertaining, and he is clearly very talented. I went with a friend who had never heard his music, and he also had a great time.

It's great to go to concert where everyone- performers and audience- are having a fun time. Such was the Mayer Hawthorne event last week. Everyone onstage and off was singing along, dancing and just letting themselves go with the music. It was light and fun and a very entertaining evening. The opening act, Quadron, was also very good. The lead is a Danish singer with a powerful voice.

My only regret is that I missed Quadron. Otherwise, this was everything that I had hope a Mayer Hawthorne and The County show would be. Such a great repertoire; all the best tracks were played and some fantastic covers / medleys too. The show has stuck with me for the past 4 days and has set the bar for the other shows I'll be attending this year.

Great entertainer and one hell of a live show! Must see!

You want to be on your feet for his show because he will have you moving to the Detroit Motown Hip Hop Soul Vibe all night. Unbelievable song writer and muscian. Go out now and buy any of his music,

Been trying to get to a Mayer Hawthorne show for a little over a year, and we just keep missing each other by a few days in every location, from Central PA to London to Rio...until NYC. Saw the first of two NYC shows on a frigid Thursday night at Webster Hall - venue was perfect size, ran efficiently with good service, Henny & Gingerale was flowing at the bar, and the two hour set FLEW by. Large contingent turned up early to catch Quadron as opening act as well. Great energy and connection with the audience, and the lead was in good voice - Andrew and his band (The County) truly seem to be having a great time on stage. The DJ during intermission was great also! This is fun, danceable music - similar to a Sharon Jones & Dap-Kings show with alot of the same energy. Even the hipsters danced, and usually they just stand there and don't move much, so there ya go. My only regret was that I had to go out of town and missed the second show / DJ set the following night in Brooklyn. Great show, great band, highly recommend!

Another great show, polished, engaged. I may have liked music from last years show a little better than this years, but still a wonderful time. Lights were amazing and well coordinated with the music. Put MH on your must see live list.

Loved it so much this was an amazing concert he was amazing

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Mayer Hawthorne--fun, engaged with the audience, music was really really good! I'm from Detroit so definitely out supporting Mayer. Quadron, who opened up was wonderful. Perfect combo and loved the venue-Center Stage.

I bought tickets to this concert primarily because of Quadron. I didn't know who Mayer Hawthorne was until I bought the tickets, but I was amazed by his album and by his set. Everything started on time, the sound was great, the musicality was great (didn't even realize there were less than 4 band members on stage at any time. Definitely worth seeing.

Happy feet, that voice, those lyrics, sweet bliss, memorable night! Mayer Hawthorne... the end! <3

Incredible fun, fun, fun concert. Great venue. Great fun. Left with a smile in on my face and a smile around my heart. LOVED it.

Had a great time. Venue was good and Mayer Hawthorne was fantastic. Good value. I go to many live shows and pay much more at times for far less of a show. If you can get out to see him I recommend it.

FINALLY! Artists who aren't afraid to ACTUALLY play real music. UGH - EVERYTHING about their performance was fantastic! And don't let the lead singer of Quadron fool you, that girl has PIPES!! The greatest Lauren Hill covers I've ever heard live. Sweet Jesus, this show was everything. Mayer also turns the house out with his smooth style band choreography and sexy little dance moves. The show was clean though, and suitable for all ages. For the performance we got, the ticket prices were a STEAL! I'm almost certain this is the last time I'll see Quadron or Mayer Hawthorne tickets for those prices again. This was possibly one of the greatest recreational choices I've made in a while.

FIRST TIME TO ATTEND MH CONCERT. HAD HEARD HE DID MORE OF TEMPTATIONS TYPE MUSIC BUT WITH WHITE GUY DANCE BACKUP AND HORN SECTION. SO WAS NOT AS BIG A SOUND AS EXPECTED. BUT ENJOYABLE AND THE VENUE WAS EXCELLENT.

Was turned on to Mayer Hawthorne by friends and really enjoyed his retro sound. His concert totally reinforced my belief that he will be an act to be reckoned with and is a very entertaining showman. Not necessarily the music but his ability to draw in the audience, attract an eclectic crowd and put on a totally entertaining show to support the great music, reminded me very much of the young Chris Isaak back in the day.

The whole band had a great vibe. It was a groovy show, fun to dance to and unexpected mixes.

Mayer Hawthorne is a pleasure to watch live! The show was amazing from start to finish. The incredible energy of both Mayer and the band is contagious! You will fall in love with his music all over again! Thanks Mayer for an AMAZING show!

Great concert. Started right on time. The first act, Quadron, I had never heard of but was very impressed. I saw half the audience during the intermission googling her. Mayer was awesome. He played almost all the songs from "Where does this door go" and played a couple from his other albums. I had a great time and would definitely recommend it.

The musicians were very talented! Great opening band. Loved the groove and style of Quadron. This is a great venue, not too large but comfortable.

Mayer is a GREAT vocalist and performer. Nothing fancy about the show minus a nice heart door that he enters through. They reached through the full library and stay focused mostly on the new album which was incredible. The band is incredibly tight and the musicians are top notch. Sound balance between the performers was perfect (maybe a tad loud though, so bring earplugs), but all in all, it was a great show. I wouldn't hesitate to see them in the least and will definitely do so again. Opening band Quadron was also a pleasant surprise as well.

Amazing show! Great entertainer and fabulous singer! Super fun, non-stop. If you love Motown music, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, and singers like Amy Winehouse, don't miss out on Mayer Hawthorne! He's awesome!

I go to my fair share of concerts and I am a devoted fan of all music but Mayer Hawthorne at Center Stage this weekend has escalated to the tip top of my favorite performances at this venue... And quite possibly in my top three of all time favorite shows. After the show I was telling my friend I would LOVE to see him do a stripped down (acoustic) performance at this venue.

Blow up the chairs, everyone was trying to dance...

Absolutely loved hearing Mayer Hawthorne play, he put on such a great and energetic show! The Pageant was different than any other venues I'd been to. There were a plethora of security guards around. I didn't mind having my bag searched upon entering, but I thought it was a bit ridiculous that beverages weren't allowed on the dance floor, not even water. And a creepy security guard was in front of me the whole time next to the stage. Also, the drinks are really expensive. Mayer Hawthorne and the wonderful opening act, Quadron, were definitely party enough to distract me from the drawbacks of the venue. I would see MH anywhere!

Excellent Show! Great show with great price! Will return

Loved the concert - even better than expected. And really enjoyed Quadron, the opening act.
