The crowd, mostly made up of 20- and 30-somethings, was definitely excited for Mayer Hawthorne to take the stage. The standing-room section in front of the stage, while far from vacant during The Mudkids set, filled up quickly. The guy has quite a following, which isn't surprising given his quick rise to relative fame and the fact that the guy seems to be a bit of a conundrum. He's a 29-year-old white kid from the suburbs of Detroit who somehow manages to channel the spirit of soul legends like Barry White and Smokey Robinson through his vocals and musical arrangements. If you close your eyes while listening to him, you can almost picture yourself sitting in a smoky club in the Motown of the 60's.
