Storytellers

Filming Storytellers for Vh1 in Brooklyn on Thursday night was a special treat for all of those who've been along for the ride the last 9+ years. I think one of the reasons John is so special as an artist, is his connection to his fans through not only his songs, but through his stories & live stage banter. These 'in-between-songs-sayings' are what connects fans not only to his music, but to him as a person.

After getting a peek at the set list before the taping, I thought about how some of my favorite John Mayer songs have a permanent story, intro or outro in my head because of live recordings. It makes me thankful for tapers who trek out to the shows, only to sit silent so that hundreds or thousands of people after them will get to enjoy the same concert. You truly capture John in his element, as the storyteller.


It's without a doubt that JM has brought together one of the coolest and most-invested communities of fans in music today. With that being said, we want to do everything we can to give back to you.


Tomorrow John will be taping an outdoor concert for Jimmy Kimmel in LA. Since us East Coasters' have gotten a lot of love over the last month, I want to make sure the west coast has some perks, too.


The first 50 people (who are able to make the taping in LA tomorrow, and are 16 or older) to e-mail me their dream setlist for the 2010 Battle Studies tour, will get in with a guest.
