Mayer Hawthorne crooned to a sold-out show at Webster Hall yesterday night.
Connecticut trio The Stepkids opened up for him with a psychedelic set that ranged from Bee Gees-type pop soul (they were certainly dressed for the occasion) to an all-out acid jam.
The Michigan-native Hawthorne, wearing his signature kicks, then swept the crowd with his soulful falsetto voice and soulful ramblings in between. His band, dressed to the nines, created a funky time machine that blasted us back to some serious old school Motown nostalgia. They even snuck in a Hall and Oates cover that sent the crowd to their feet. This is how every concert should be.
