John Mayer

BIOGRAPHy

John Mayer

After arriving on the scene as a sensitive, acoustic-styled songwriter on 2001’s Room for Squares, John Mayer steadily widened his approach over the years, encompassing everything from blues-rock to adult contemporary in the process. He crafted pop music for a more discerning audience, spiking his song craft with jazz chords and literate turns of phrase. The combination proved to be quite popular, as Room for Squares went triple platinum before its follow-up release, Heavier Things, arrived in 2003. Mayer continued to retool his sound with each album, however, moving beyond the material that had launched his career and adopting elements of rock, blues, and soul. Moreover, he partnered with legends of several genres, making guest appearances on albums by Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, and B.B. King, while touring alongside jazz icon Herbie Hancock. Mayer also retained enough pop/rock foundation to continue his reign of the charts, making him one of the rock’s most popular songwriters. John’s most recent release Sob Rock debuted #1 on th Album Rock Charts in 2021 and the video for the single “Lost Train Home” won Best Rock video at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards.  John Mayer continues to rock out all over the world.
