AllMusic: You have a pretty extensive touring schedule coming up. Is that more intimidating or exciting?
Hawthorne: It’s daunting, for sure. Mostly, just because I don’t ever want anybody to want their money back when they come to see Mayer Hawthorne, I take so much pride in my live show, I pride myself on the fact that I have one of the best live shows in the world, and I want to maintain that quality, always, and that’s not easy. It’s a lot of work.
AllMusic: How much rehearsal goes into it?
Hawthorne: It’s weeks’ worth, and even more weeks of preparation before we even start rehearsals. There are so many things that go into it, too, from choreography to wardrobe to stage production to tour routing, it’s endless, there’s so many components that go into making that work.
AllMusic: Are you a hands-on leader or are you able to delegate?
Hawthorne: I’m such a control freak that I wish I could delegate more of that, I do my best to delegate, but I design all of my own tour merchandise, for the most part, it’s just something that I feel like I have to do.
