Born and Raised was expected to be released in October 2011, but surgery sidelined the singer-songwriter. Finally healthy, he has finished his new album and is set to embark on a tour that will take throughout the country in spring and summer. However, so far the only tour dates that have been announced are a pair of shows at the Global Events Center in Thackerville, Oklahoma and a set at the South by Southwest Festival in mid-March 2012 and an appearance at the Jazz Fest in New Orleans in late April 2012.
John Mayer spoke with Rolling Stone and described the new album, claiming it will have an organic sound of a cowboy guitar. This would certainly be a change of pace for the singer songwriter, who has previously brought the blues to the adult contemporary world.
The son of a high school principal and English teacher and a clarinet player in middle school, John Mayer appeared destined for a typical life growing up in Bridgeport, Connecticut. However, a difficult divorce and inspiration in the form of Back to the Future and Stephen Ray Vaughan sent Mayer on a different path. He wanted to become a blues guitarist, adding songwriter to his wish list after spending a week in the hospital following his struggle with cardiac dysrhythmia.
John Mayer next attended the esteemed Berklee College of Music for a year before leaving for Atlanta to perform as a duo with Clay Cook in Atlanta. There he forged his musical chops, releasing a few independent EPs and the album Room for Squares. The internet-only release included the song "Your Body Is a Wonderland". Room for Squares went quadruple platinum and led to a record contract with Columbia Records and Aware.
Under the Columbia Records label he has released three platinum studio albums Ð Heavier Things, Continuum, and Battle Studies. He even has a platinum live album, any Given Thursday. He continued his success on the charts with "Daughters", "Waiting on the World to Change", "Say", and "Half of My Heart". John Mayer has been subject to just as many tabloid covers as he has graced the covers of music magazines. He has a tendency to live a high profile dating life and has created quite the controversy in the process. Either way, TheSeats has the John Mayer tickets to enjoy him in concert.
