The back-up vocals are spot-on and the band is good playing familiar grooves! (American 60s, 70s Motown/R&B) " See Youngesters….ANYONE can be a music star these days…all you need is a mediocre talent with a niche and a backer with deep pockets!' !! lol I just know I will make it to American Idol w my Kazoo…I'll show em! lol NEXT!!!!

I would purchase his music for sure. A grand up date on soul music done very well and classic.
Mayer Hawthorne your a real plesant surprise for sure.
Lets just say that I'm implying that I really do not think this guy is talented. Maybe he could pass the high school talent show test but for a professional singer his voice is weak and his delivery is corny.
