Tuxedo announce debut album out march 2, 2015 on Stones Throw Records

GRAMMY nominated renaissance man Mayer Hawthorne and GRAMMY nominated producer Jake One (Drake, Snoop Dogg, Fun.) team up to release their self-titled debut album Tuxedo on Stones Throw Records) on March 2, 2015. The duo unveiled the cover art and track listing today and recently gave fans a sneak peek of the upcoming funk record with the video for “Do It”.

Tuxedo is Mayer Hawthorne (Aquarius) and Jake One (Taurus). They are descendants of the one-word moniker family of funk, where you will find such groups as Chic, Shalamar and Zapp. Tuxedo emerged last year with three tracks of smooth, synth-heavy disco funk accompanied by no information about the group except a greeting – “Tuxedo is here! Stay classy.” Multi-platinum recording artist Pitbull loved the tracks so much he used one of them on his album Global Warming: Meltdown.

The duo is excited to release the upcoming album on Stones Throw Records, which also marks Mayer’s return to the label since the release of his debut A Strange Arrangement in 2009.

The duo plans to tour tying into the release of Tuxedo. For more information please visit www.tuxedofunk.com.
