John Mayer Tickets Information

John Mayer
John Clayton Mayer (born on October 16, 1977) is an American Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist. Originally from Connecticut, he briefly attended Berklee College of Music before moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1998, where he refined his skills and began gaining a following. After originally performing mainly acoustic rock, in 2005 he made a transition towards the blues genre with the formation of the John Mayer Trio.

The blues influence can also be seen on his latest studio album Continuum, which was released on September 12, 2006. Mayer won two Grammy awards for Pop Vocal Album for Continuum and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change" at the 49th Grammy Awards in February 2007.

Mayer's other interests include stand-up comedy, design, and writing; he has written pieces for several magazines, most notably for Esquire.

Career
Road to mainstream success
After playing the guitar for several years, Mayer enrolled in the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of nineteen. After two semesters, he chose to cut his studies short in favor of a move to Atlanta, Georgia, with his college friend and band mate, Clay Cook.

Inside Wants Out
With the help of local producer and engineer Glenn Matullo, Mayer recorded the independent EP Inside Wants Out. Cook is also cited as the co-writer of many of the songs from the EP, most notably, Mayer's first commercial single release "No Such Thing." The EP includes only eight songs, all with Mayer on vocals and guitars and on the first track "Back To You", a full band was enlisted, including the EP's co-producer David "De-La" LaBruyere on bass guitars. They then began local tours throughout Georgia and the suburbs.

Heavier Things
In 2003, Mayer released the follow-up album, Heavier Things. This album also brought critical and commercial success. Although the album did top the charts for a time, it ultimately did not sell as well as Room for Squares. However, Mayer's most successful single to date, "Daughters," yielded Mayer a Grammy for Song of the Year in 2005. For this award, he beat contenders Alicia Keys and Kanye West. He dedicated the award to his grandmother, Annie Hoffman, who passed away in May 2004. He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, beating Elvis Costello, Prince, and Seal for the award. Mayer also was honored with the Hal David Starlight Award at the 37th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in 2006.

Change in musical direction:
In 2004, Mayer worked with hip hop artist and producer Kanye West, appearing both on rapper Common's song "Go!" and being included initially on West's album Late Registration, though their collaboration "Bittersweet" remains unreleased. Due to these collaborations, Mayer has received praise from rap heavyweights like Jay-Z and Nelly.

Continuum:
Cover art for the single "Waiting on the World to Change" is the first from the album Continuum. Mayers latest album, entitled Continuum, was released on September 12, 2006, and was produced by Mayer himself and John Mayer Trio drummer Steve Jordan. Mayer suggested the album was intended to combine his signature pop music with the feel, sound, groove and sensibilities of the blues. In that vein, two of the tracks from his trio release Try! The funky "Vultures" and the blues centerpiece "Gravity" were also included on Continuum.

Touring
Mayer allows audiotaping at most of his live performances, and he also allows for the non-commercial trading of those recordings. He does this to give fans the opportunity to recreate the live experience, and to encourage fan interaction. Tape trading was also instrumental in Mayer becoming better known in the early stages of his career.

To date, Mayer has toured with many groups, including Maroon 5, Guster, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Teitur, and Sheryl Crow. Crow and Mayer, who recently appeared on the Cars Soundtrack together, co-headlined a tour that ran from August to October 2006, before each artist continued their respective solo tours. Mayer and Crow traded numerous on-stage pranks during their last week touring together, as documented on Mayer's blog.

Selected events
Mayer has also played himself on various programs, including CSI, and most famously on Chappelle's Show. The TV comedy Family Guy referenced John Mayer in an episode. In a Volkswagen commercial (promoting the best-selling New Beetle), Mayer appeared playing a First Act guitar in a display of their new feature: outlets for an electric guitar, allowing it to play through the car's stereo.

Mayer appeared at the Pennsbury High School prom on May 14, 2004, in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia. A book called Wonderland by writer Michael Bamberger chronicles the high school's senior class president, a huge Mayer fan, and his school's quest for the ultimate prom. Rolling Stone magazine covered Mayer's prom performance, as did many national media outlets.

Mayer is apparently a fan of XM Satellite Radio's Ron and Fez and Opie and Anthony shows. Mayer stopped in unannounced to the Ron and Fez Show on June 14 to premiere his latest single, and then appeared on Opie and Anthony on July 26.
