Ann Arbor native Andrew Mayer Cohen, better known as Mayer Hawthorne is steadily on his way to becoming a household name. The minstrel of soul turned heads with his breakthrough debut record, A Strange Arrangement, and as a result, has already circumnavigated the globe sharing his retro-inspired brand of pop with sold-out crowds.
To commemorate the end of his two-month U.S. tour (which wraps up at The Warfield Theater on April 15th with indie juggernauts, Passion Pit), record label Stones Throw, Bay area street clothiers HUF and design artist Freegums have collaborated on an exclusive tee and USB drive pack to be sold at a special release party. The heart-shaped USB drive comes pre-loaded with Mayer Hawthorne’s cover of Tony Bennett’s classic, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”.
Peep the music video for the track here:
