This Wednesday night, Nocturnal Sound Krew and Bamp Project debut Mayer Hawthorne & the County live for one night only at Pipeline Cafe. Creatively talented and gifted with the sound of music, this breakout singer is taking the industry by storm with his retro-soul sound influenced by legendary soul icons Smokey Robinson, Barry White, Isaac Hayes, and Curtis Mayfield.
The emerging soul sensation self-produced his debut album A Strange Arrangement with catchy and hit singles “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out,” “Maybe So, Maybe No,” and “Your Easy Lovin’ Ain’t Pleasin’ Nothin’” quickly winning the hearts of celebrity fans like Justin Timberlake and John Mayer, who recently Tweeted, “Record of the year goes to Mayer Hawthorne,” and then invited the rookie to open for him on New Year’s Eve.
Opening the show will be new Brushfire Records artist J Radio. JRADIO is a new hip hop musician from the group of creative minds that brought you the Gorillaz, Deltron and Beastie Boys. This project is an explosive expansion of the rock and hip hop genres featuring an eclectic mix of collaborators like Jack Johnson, Money Mark, Kid Koala, Dan the Automator, Mario C and Domino from Hieroglyphics. Expect a few surprise guests to sit on this group’s Honolulu debut

What’s up peoples? How’s your 2010 going? From the jump, it’s been mad hectic. Couple weeks back I had the honor of playing the afterparty for the LOST premiere at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse. On top of that I got to get busy in a Dharma jumpsuit. Check here for the recap.
As we proceed to give you want you need……here’s what’s up coming up for the rest of this month:
Tonight my dude Mark Tarone has got the Chinatown on smash with the official Fat Tuesday party. I’ll be rocking at Bar 35 alongside the multi talented homey DJ Audissey.
On Friday, The Vertical Junkies are putting together the ill birthday jump off for the dudest of dudes Maka V. The Aloha Stadium homies will be in full effect (hopefully in costume). See you at Fresh Cafe…
Next week Wednesday is the huge Nocturnal Sound Krew and Bamp jump off! We’ve teamed up to bring you our first official concert. We’re proud as hell to present Stones Throw recording artist Mayer Hawthorne and the County. NSK has been huge Mayer fans since he dropped the ill heart shaped 10″ vinyl single for Just Gonna Work It Out about a year ago. Since then dude’s buzz has been growing with the release of his album A Strange Arrangement and getting the cosign from us.
On top of that, we’ve added Brushfire Records (Jack Johnson’s label) J Radio. J Radio is a project by Jack Johnson’s bassist Merlo Podlewski consisting of a large cast of characters such as Del The Funky Homosapian, Mario C (Beastie Boys), Money Mark (Beastie Boys), Jack Johnson, and Kid Koala. Expect some special guest to make an appearance at the show.

Thanks,
This past Saturday I had the pleasure and honor of deejaying at the LOST premiere after party at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse at Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Shout out to my dude Rick for putting me on and pulling together an incredible production…..
Once I got the call for the party, my levels of stoke were pretty high and that’s all I could think of for days. From the jump, I wanted to do something memorable for the night. After brainstorming with Rick, we came up with the idea of me deejaying in a Dharma jump suit. Some how the dude made it happen……
Fast forward to Saturday, the crew at Events International gave Wolfgang a crazy club face lift…….
Yup……I seen mad people walking out with those pillows under their shirts.
I tried to rack these but of course I was caught sleepin’
Namaste shots!

Dharma weight loss plan……
DHARMA FACE!
