While the city of Ann Arbor is best known as the home to the University Of Michigan, you can now add throw the name Mayer Hawthorne into the mix as the retro-soul singer hails from Southeastern Michigan town. Hawthorne, whose music Ryan introduced us too a couple of weeks back, presents an updated spin on a mix of Motown grooves and Curtis Mayfield funk. Here's his latest video for I Wish It Would Rain...

Mayer Hawthorne (real name: Andrew Mayer Cohen) stepped up to the microphone dressed in a gray three-piece suit paired with custom-made red Nike Dunks.

Mayer Hawthorne has been everywhere since the release of his 2009 debut A Strange Arrangement . And he's expanding his reach with another huge tour this spring, including a leg with Passion Pit. Too bad the tour skips Phoenix, even though we saw him in October open for Ghostface. To help stoke another round of buzz, Hawthorne has released a new video for the slow jam I Wish It Would Rain , in which our brokenhearted leading man laments lost love whilst being shadowed by that oh-so [...]

We all have days where it feels like a little rain cloud is following us and us alone - Mayer Hawthorne included. The Stones Throw crooner has taken this concept and run with it in his new video for 'I Wish It Would Rain' of his lovely debut LP from last year, A Strange Arrangement.
