[MayerHawthorne_WDTDG]

"Hawthorne has long been a student of the music that precedes him, with skills as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist that take him well beyond mimicry. Along the way, Hawthorne has carved out a contemporary niche for himself as a musician with a gift for fusing past and present sounds in ways that render them indistinguishable from each other."- NPR

His third album, Where Does This Door Go, will be released on July 16th via Republic Records. To celebrate, Mayer will play two special shows in New York City at the Bowery Ballroom on July 15th and Los Angeles at the Troubadour on July 17th.
