John Mayer is a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso recognized for his pop-rock anthems and blues-soul fusion music. Over his career, he has performed as a solo artist, led the John Mayer Trio, and collaborated as part of the supergroup Dead & Company.
Mayer built his initial audience with radio-friendly acoustic pop-rock before releasing his acclaimed 2006 third studio album, Continuum. Developed following work with bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan in the John Mayer Trio, the 12-track project established his reputation for blues-heavy storytelling prior to a period of intense tabloid coverage surrounding his romantic life.
In addition to his ongoing solo performances—including live tributes incorporating his hit track Gravity—Mayer has addressed his musical future with Dead & Company during radio appearances with talk host Andy Cohen. He has stated that while no immediate shows are scheduled, he remains open to returning to the stage with the group.
