Indebted to bringing you the finest music touring our shores, SAN FRAN have none other than Detroit's prodigal son, Mayer Hawthorne, in celebration of his new album 'How Do You Do?'

No stranger to New Zealand shores after headling Splore in 2011, Mayer is back to spread the sunshine vibes of LA whilst maintaining the spirit of his hometown Detroit - arguably the birthplace of modern soul music.

Mayer’s debut LP A Strange Arrangement lit a fire across the world with its faithful interpretation of classic genres including soul, blues, country, doo-wop and rock n’ roll. Earlier in 2011, he released a free EP of covers including works originally by Chromeo (who have also remixed current single ‘A Long Time’), Isley Brothers, ELO and more.

Recently performing his new single ‘The Walk’ live on Late Night ‘s Conan and Letterman shows, Mayer Hawthorne is confirming what the underground has known for years - this singer/producer can channel the best of soul, funk, disco and yacht rock into 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 his debut and is responsible for spawning the incredibly popular heart shaped vinyl single ‘Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out’.

Performing with his live band, Mayer Hawthorne will once again take centre stage for a soulful performance that has already swept New Zealand audiences off their feet once.

“His band was amazingly tight and Hawthorne's vocals were almost richer and more impressive than on record. He is an impressive showman, chatting away to the audience throughout the set.” – stuff.co.nz

“Mayer Hawthorne and the County's sound is the future of soul music” – The New Zealand Herald

DJ Marek, in support, is into sneakers, caps, jackets and designer jeans. He's kicked it on a social or business level with David Banner, De La Soul and the rest of your i-tunes playlist over a few quiet brews or a pot of old English tea in London or LA. Marek holds the fuck down as the resident weekend DJ at Good Luck Bar in Wellington, and is sponsored by W.E.S.C; so you know he stays dipped. He's also the official New Zealand VICE magazine DJ and has played with everyone, everywhere. Right now Marek's all about club tempo dance music, so he's thrashing a lot of Bmore, Bassline and Favela Funk. Don't get it twisted though, you'll still hear some Ice T up in this bitch when the shots are right.
