They play so many tuxedo songs at my job. Never knew they had a tiny desk

The backup singer is a whole Queen!!!! She is gorgeous💜💜

[@sergioguerrero304]

Gavin Turek is truly a goddess

[@CSM100MK2]

nah the backup piano guy is so cute

[@MakesiGaither]

She part of the group no back ground

[@piliptraum9520]

These desk concerts are a gem.

[@leinoway]

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

[@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

[@keenanrae603]

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

[@jorlandd]

Gavin Turek

[@MimiClau201]

Wonderful

[@marcmorais6463]

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

Gavin Turek - looking for her music and videos

[@patriciacarpenter4129]

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.

[@mullinsmcd]

This is easily the most underrated Tiny Desk

[@lankdubstep]

over and over again I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS

[@LandenBMS]

No, Chromeo is.

[@alexisrosales1156]

yeaahhh

[@msergio0293]

Not really but ok

[@nevv79]

@@LandenBMS Coincidence that they have similar sounds? Prob not!

[@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

[@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.

[@charpyles8923]

Certainly dressed for it!

[@Hellie805p]

Yess 4/11/20 santa Maria Ca. Puhhhleeeease😁

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

[@PRJobTips]

Great harmonies and Gavin Turek's megawatt smiles

[@sybordes]

That guistarist kills it! Too funky.

[@RJNumber45]

Facts

[@Cherri65]

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

[@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

[@BryanSorensen]

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.

[@CSM100MK2]

Neo-Motown lol

[@Nino.ElectricSoul]

We call them Soulful Whites

[@carlosescalante1080]

Bobby Caldwell , Teena Marie effect

[@williamoddo9199]

As a 66 yr old guy, it reminds me the music we used to listen to back in the day…

[@anotheryoutubechannel4809]

💯

[@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!

[@inaraktuvshin663]

I have never been more in love with someone’s smile like I am with Gavin’s 😩😍😍 what an angel

[@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!! ✨🌐

[@Sundayhammondgirl]

I love their style. And her voice, she's just stunning!

[@ericzeigler5140]

This kind of restored my faith in humanity

[@dfrnt_hues]

These guys are sooooo DOPE, I played more than half there songs for my wedding last month.

[@illanoise77]

naim tate wouldn’t mind this at my wedding 🤔

[@poolgoldworldwild2163]

Congrats, dude. Must have been lit

[@jolanfranssen5603]

'cause it's better the second time around?

[@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.

[@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.

[@edwardprice140]

[@Peighter]

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

[@GarriFree]

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

[@ammoxy1]

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.

[@oburgarella]

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

[@WilyWillyT]

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

[@vitor3000]

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

[@krissothegreat.3119]

Definately .. enhances everybody's game

[@Dlogreen]

Jake One is doin his thing boppin down there too. Folks don't even realize who that is. This is a solid gathering of musical individuals

[@gamebae14]

When the “do do do you” starts I just melt away.. into a universe where my soul meets love ,peace and tranquillity ❤️☀️ Top 3 fav tiny desks for me. Easily!

[@mima4u]

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

[@marioavila1235]

Mayer Hawthorne on his own is a prolific artist and took a page from Prince’s notebook and decided to create a side band for his Creative output ...he is truly a soul artists

[@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 😊💜

[@victorrp3275]

Gavin Turek is absolutely one of my favorite singers and performers! This is my first time seeing her on this NPR performance. She undoubtedly has the discography and talent to do her own Tiny Desk now!

Mayer, Gavin, Jake....another level.

[@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

That funky funky bass line was killing me
