Concert Review: John Mayer, Sydney (April 24th, 2014)

Last week, I wrote about going to see John Mayer in concert, and last night was the night! The concert was held in Sydney, at the Allphones Arena (located in the Olympic Park Stadium, where the 2000 Summer Olympics took place).

A Tribute To: John Mayer

This time next week, I’ll be seeing John Mayer in concert! I’m really excited, and I’ve spent the entire day listening to his albums in anticipation. I’ve been a John Mayer fan since I was 14. I saw his music video for “No Such Thing”…

Album Review: John Mayer, “Paradise Valley” (2013)

At the start of the summer, when I heard that John Mayer was releasing a new album, I was half-convinced that Christmas had actually come early. After all, it is winter in Australia, so the combination of the cold weather, and well – the best…

Album Review: John Mayer, “Where The Light Is” (2008)

The last time I reviewed a John Mayer concert CD (Any Given Thursday, 2002) I had yet to see my favourite musician in concert.  Finally, in August ‘08, I saw him in California at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre and was absolutely blown away.  Mayer was…

Album Review: John Mayer, “Any Given Thursday” (2002)

One thing on my list of “things to do in life” is to see all my favorite musicians live. I’ve already crossed Jamie Cullum off the list (though I’m planning to see him again, and as many times as possible, in fact), and I’m looking…

Album Review: John Mayer, “Continuum” (2006)

  Usually, I let an album “sink in” for about two weeks before reviewing it. Usually, I haven’t listened to the album repeatedly since its release date. Usually, the tracks on the album aren’t the most played tracks on iTunes, even though they’ve only been…

Album Review: John Mayer Trio, “Try!” (2005)

We last heard from John Mayer with his second album, Heavier Things. After taking a brief touring hiatus, he returned with a new live album, Try! featuring himself, drummer Steve Jordon (Bruce Springsteen, The Stones) and bassist Pino Palladino (Phil Collins)- also known as the…
