Gavin Turek is truly a goddess

She part of the group no back ground

[@ichschaffees]

Gavin Turek❤❤, she is a Queen

[@piliptraum9520]

These desk concerts are a gem.

[@feloniuspunk7078]

Been a mayer hawthorne fan for over ten years.. probably more like 13-14.. dudes voice never gets old to me. Matter of fact hes gotten better over time

[@GGGZEEE]

His harmony in Second Time is crazy

[@leinoway]

WHAAT!!!!! How did I miss this! Mayer Hawthorne is so so undervalued! He is PRICELESS!

[@ericwehrlin3122]

The girl is sort of a dream come true, a sun in black and pink with a so bright smile ! She 's radiating . Never seen before such a stylish band !

[@hernanvillalta]

Gavin Turek - looking for her music and videos

[@keenanrae603]

I am absolutely enchanted by that background singer. Beautiful smile, beautiful face, beautiful voice, stunning to say the least.

Gavin Turek

[@MimiClau201]

Wonderful

[@sybordes]

That guistarist kills it! Too funky.

[@Cherri65]

This sound takes me back to the days of Lakeside, Atlantic Starr, The Bar-kays, Cameo, and Rick James. Great sound and style!!

[@alligatortearstns]

The fact that we still keep coming here and melting in love with Gavin Turek's talent, smile and stunning hair is crazy af. What a disco diva!! ✨🌐

[@marcmorais6463]

Finally! Mayer Hawthorne is definitely one of THE coolest cats around along with .Paak. Stoked to see him on tiny desk!

Since the pandemic I've been taking the time to explore all musicians presented by NPR TinyDesk. Tuxedo is gonna be one my favorites. I love the disco vibes!❤💃🏼

[@VultureSlots]

Congrats!

[@jeffpunz5337]

They ROCK live too! Hope you get to see em in action one day!

[@KayEsTV]

MAD LOVE FOR GAVIN TUREK!!!! such a lovely voice for these songs. she and mayer sound so good together.

[@EgyptParis]

This group is so cute! I love this era of 70s 80s music so I'm very into this

[@ddurena51]

Codi Maddox when I first heard them I thought they were from the 80's. Blew my mind away when I saw 2 wite guys

[@jeffpunz5337]

I discovered Mayer Hawthorne in 2012, seen him 3 times live now, (the latest was a Tuxedo show) and seeing how much he's grown as an artist and collaborator is so cool. Love to see it. Gems!

[@brettgillingham3313]

Whenever I see Mayer perform I truly don't understand why the UK has got its head up its butt and ignores him. We like a pop tune, we like happiness, we love 80's 90's style so what's not to love? Odd. The mans a huge talent.

[@woomeebly]

Thank goodness someone finally said it! We citizens of the planet bleeth don't ignore good audio assemblage , we're big fans here. If they disappear for a week or two, we just snaffled them for a concert! Promise we won't eat them!

[@krusher74]

that would have been big back in the acid jazz days.

[@MissHola80]

absolutely! the beat.. the voices 💖

[@CSM100MK2]

get over yourself.

[@morganb6611]

America largely ignores him too because a lot of people lack taste

[@brandlessheadphones]

The people at tiny desk do the best sound engineering! Fuck man. Applause to the peeps in behind the scenes!

[@stanboshears3377]

I think they have the best sound engineers I have encountered anywhere. Seriously the stars of the session every time is hands down their engineers. Thank you!!

[@2ego]

Josh Rogosin: the man! the legend!

[@bignutzinyomouth5045]

Checkout colors

[@brandlessheadphones]

@Lord Cregan Stark EEEEEEH. They only use one mic for the colors sessions and backing tracks and it lacks range in genres. Tiny desk has their work vastly more cut out for them in a unconventional place with the range in music which can please just about anyone.

[@alxxxargento]

The only thing was the Mike´s mic in the last song.

[@PRJobTips]

Great harmonies and Gavin Turek's megawatt smiles

[@IHMadeThis]

Tuxedo would be the dopest wedding band.

[@kailyndavillier]

Dude. I literally want them for mine!

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I know right

[@Blackkeysfan86]

After watching them in Chicago last night... uh, yeah, they put on the most fun show I’ve ever witnessed live.

i saw Mayor Hawthorne in concert once, it was the tightest most upbeat show just weaving one song into another no time for bs we aint talkin we're just groovin

[@JustinSmithXenoabe]

Smooth as that backup singer's dress.

[@FreebyrdLee]

Justin Smith I swear it's a robe made into a jumsuit...lol

[@Hollypopsification]

She isn't a backing singer .....her (Gavin turek) and the guy (Mayer hawthorne) are Tuxedo!!

[@ceec8423]

Actually Mayer and Jake are Tuxedo.

[@joshuaestrada550]

Holly Griggs she’s just a solo hired backup singer. Tuxedo is jake and mayer. Hence why they are they only two in tux’s

[@jorlandd]

Gavin Turek

[@escobarines]

I can't believe you brought Tuxedo to perform on Tiny Desk, what a f*cking treat! 🕺🙆

[@ADunnMusic]

Inés Escobar you can swear on the internet

[@vazirakcarlcox9613]

@@ADunnMusic you've got a point

[@shephrd]

So many great late 70's and early 80's R&B influences in Tuxedo's music. Their guitar picking reminds me of Nile Rodgers (Chic) and the synth bass on the second track reminds me of S.O.S. band.

[@mullinsmcd]

This is easily the most underrated Tiny Desk

[@lankdubstep]

over and over again I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS

[@boogiedownbronx73]

I like Gavin's smile she funky

I love Mayer Hawthorne and obviously Tuxedo, they are a wonderful collaboration! Can't wait to see them live.

Gavin Turek is so very beautiful and Talented

[@braddutson3559]

I am so mad about not knowing about Mayor Hawthorne and Tuxedo until now. I feel like my life would have been better had I discovered these soulful sounds years ago. I guess it is better to be late than to continue to be in the dark...

[@ginacuoco4497]

Ok well I just discovered them 2 days ago and feel incredibly cheated! So glad I can get caught up now!!

[@terissaleath605]

I just found them a couple months ago, heard Shy for the first time 😊💜

That guitar player has some bad ass funk licks. I mean bad ass. So creative. 🎸

It's humanly impossible to not fall in love with Gavin Turek. That smile, my god.

[@woomeebly]

We bleethians love her too. Now, if she had a few more limbs and blue rings....that'd definitely work.

[@Peighter]

Sometimes all we need is feel good music. I love tiny desk's variety.😊

[@WilyWillyT]

Pretty sure I've watched this set about four dozen times. Tuxedo needs Turek on every future track.

She's such a perfect match for this group!!

[@krissothegreat.3119]

Definately .. enhances everybody's game

[@oburgarella]

OMG ! the second vocalist fills the screen with her presence !!!

[@davidmcleod1098]

Love that 1970's - 1980's feel to this band. That "bass line" and the girl's backup in the last song reminded me of Rick James 1980's song "MaryJane" lol

[@andreajordan8548]

I'm living for Gavin's entire look!

[@kaloniajennings1170]

And if you don't know who Gavin Turek is --- introduce yourself. She's amazing live!!!

Just wanna give some love to the guitar player Christian Wunderlich and keys player Sam Wish.

To this day! Still some of the best music I’ve ever heard! Saw them at the underground music showcase 2018 in Denver, such a fun time!

Hawthorne has one of those rare white-guy voices that can legitimately sing soul-r&b-pop. These tunes are sophisticated and fun. Grossly Underrated IMO.

That funky funky bass line was killing me

[@royjunior3349]

[@skierpage]

Christian Wunderlich was in Mayer Hawthorne's touring band "The County," and his solos on live versions of "Reach Out Richard" from MH's cruelly underrated "Where Does this Door Go" are understated perfection. The best one of all was a live promotional performance for the Grammys, and it's vanished from KZbin 😢.

[@robjones7178]

I want my own "Hoooo" button

[@antjeluckeubersetzungentra3927]

There is one for your phone you can download at Mayer Hawthorne's (or Tuxedo's, don't remember) website.

I bought one from them when I saw them on tour.
