Born and raised in Fairfield County, Connecticut, Mayer attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, but left and moved to Atlanta in 1997 with Clay Cook. ər/ MAY-ər born October 16, 1977) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. SO MANY quality recordings of his live shows.John Clayton Mayer ( / ˈ m eɪ. If you have not yet, go to and search for him. It came out in 2012 and I just got it in June 2017. I poo pooed it thinking it was just another plastic guitar game, but you REALLY play the songs (Played guitar all my life, but it is still awesome to learn new songs so easily). I did that last year with the game ROCKSMITH. Then I get depressed and think 'I could have been enjoying this stuff since 2009?, IDIOT'. It is so great to find an artist or album/song that you LOVE and then find there is a huge back catalog of other AWESOME music from them. We moved and they have not broadcast it again so it is not on the DVR anymore. MTV Live (Previously Pallaida) on Comcast showed an edited version of it and every night before I went to sleep I would watch Gravity all the way through. I am assuming you had never heard it until recently? If so I envy you. But after Continuum came out, and essentially helped me survive my first bad breakup, I've been a grossly unapologetic fanboy since. I pre-ordered Continuum, and was one of the first however many, and I actually have a signed CD booklet somewhere, and I kick myself everyday because I don't know where it is. I remember the day I bought the album, what store I went to, where I parked, and the feeling I got the first time I heard the solo on Who did you think I was. I joined his fan club way back in like 2004, and got notified that a trio album was coming out. He showed it a little more on Heavier Things and the As/Is albums, and I think he was at the Crossroads festival in 2003 (?) which I have the DVD of. I was majorly into the music scene, and was mostly a SRV fan at that point, but I was telling everyone "I know this dude sings panty droppers, but he has SERIOUS guitar chops" and noboby believed me. I can't remember the details, but I heard some bootleg around the time that Room for Squares was the major thing. Add in his Dead and Co stuff, and the dude is just in a class of his own. It makes me happy that the guy that REALLY got me into music back when I was 13-14 (32 now) can still get new fans 15 years later, and people love him just the same as I did all those years ago. But but 2000s Mayer was the music I went through high school and college with, so definitely has a special place in the ol’ heart. Nothing wrong with him evolving (musicians SHOULD evolve), but if you grew up with Mayer through the 2000s like I did (found his ‘Wind Cries Mary’ and ‘Lenny’ demo CD at a Starbucks, then got ‘Inside Wants Out’ in like ‘99 I believe.I may have the years off just a bit), ‘Where The Light Is’ is absolutely as good as it gets. He then also went through his Neil Young/Bob Dylan faze after that. Not bad, just not as polished, and different. Not too long after that, he had his vocal chord issues, and has sounded different ever since. Its also by far the best his voice has ever sounded (imo). Yeah, that album was peak 2000s John Mayer.
