MAN ABOUT TOWN By Mayer Hawthorne

man about town
I’ve been a fan of Mayer Hawthorne’s music since his first music CD, A Strange Arrangement (2010). You can read that review here. Mayer Hawthorne comes from Ann Arbor, Michigan and grew up listening to Motown music. Hawthorne offers some great “Blue-Eyed Soul” songs on his new CD, Man About Town. Hall & Oates are playing a concert in Syracuse (about 3 hours away) on June 25. And Mayer Hawthorne is their opening act! I’m going to try to get some tickets so we might be travelling to mid-New York State to hear our favorite “Blue-Eyed Soul” performers. If you enjoy this kind of music, you’ll love Man About Town. You’ll hear some of Hawthorne’s music in the On Point interview I’ve included here. Worth a listen! GRADE: A-

    Don’t know him at all, though apparently you did a previous review that slipped my mind. We have seen Hall & Oates in concert at Jones Beach. They put on a good show.

      Jeff, I’ve seen Hall & Oates in concert twice. And I own most of their CDs. The Syracuse concert is tempting me. I missed the Toronto concert.

    I’ve never heard of him. Hope you can get to the concert. I had a friend who lived in Baldwinsville and I visited there many times in the 70’s and 80’s. I remember a big book warehouse there. Got some amazing deals, and was allowed in the store room to find some real treasures. Do you remember that?

      Rick, it doesn’t look like the Syracuse trip will happen. I wish we could have made it to the Toronto concert (much closer).
