Mayer Hawthorne & the County @ Saturdays Off the 405

Fridays Off the 405 are now Saturdays Off the 405! The free outdoor performance series at the Getty Center is back on Saturday nights this summer with a lively mix of today’s most exciting emerging bands and DJ sets to open and close the night. And starting this summer, parking is free at the Getty on Saturdays after 5pm.

Mayer Hawthorne sounds like magic: a new-school soul sensation whose sweet crooning revels in retro, while break beat riffs inspired by years spinning vinyl revive the legends of Motown. Not simply a classic soul throwback, Hawthorne's hanging-by-a-string falsetto and self-taught, multi-instrument skills mingle with hip-hop drum loops, brilliant harmonies, and heartfelt nostalgia.
