Team Mick is very excited to announce our newest addition, Fort Lean. The Brooklyn-based group creates music to escape: "At Fort Lean, which is a place you can go, the weather is perfect all the time. Hot but not too sticky, and you can sleep in the park comfortably without getting hassled by the cops. Fort Lean is about getting too drunk at your own picnic. Fort Lean is about leaving the city. Fort Lean is a place where you can still see the skyline but you can’t hear any cars and you can put all your stolen wine in the stream to keep it cool and when the fire dies out you can see some stars and not too many airplanes." Like their Facebook page and check out some of their rad tunes. They'll also being rocking CMJ next week (6 shows!) along with Mr. Dream and Walk the Moon. We're big fans and we're sure you're soon to be too.

Sarah McLachlan Performs at Flight 93 Memorial Dedication

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:08:00 -0700

Last month on September 10th, Sarah performed a few of her most loved songs at the Flight 93 National Memorial dedication ceremony in Shanksville, PA. The memorial is located where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed on the morning of September 11, 2001 after being hijacked by terrorists. Sarah joined President Bill Clinton, President George W.

Sarah McLachlan Tune Used to Gain Aid for Struggling Billionaires

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 10:47:00 -0700

Last week the Daily Show, in another one of its spot-on parodies gave Sarah McLachlan a shout-out. Brilliantly blending current events with pop culture trends, TDS parodied Sarah's ASPCA commercial with a fauxmercial pleading for Americans to donate money to our struggling billionaires. We've seen plenty of remakes of Sarah's spot and this BY FAR is the most amazing. Well done, Jon Stewart. Once again, you've proved you've got the magic touch.

The Walkmen Slay Letterman with "Juveniles"

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 11:15:00 -0800

We headed over to The Walkmen's Late Show taping yesterday afternoon and got to hear Paul Schaefer and the band jam out on Del Shannon after Dave smashed some fruit on his desk. All in all, it was an epic day and The Walkies totally crushed their performance. Dave wiped all the fruit remnants off his desk with a vinyl copy of "Lisbon", and I had the band sign it so we could give it away. -Lindsay

Justin CRUSHES Letterman Last Night

Thu, 06 Jan 2011 12:36:00 -0800

I would say this even if I didn't work for him: Justin Townes Earle is one of the first artists in a long time that has reminded me why I love music as much as I do. His live performance completely captivates you and makes you forget about whatever else is going on in your life. Go see him live if he hits up your town this year, I promise you that you'll be a fan for life afterwards. - Lindsay

Bob Dylan: The Witmark Demos

Mon, 04 Oct 2010 14:13:00 -0700

Today, my friend Betsy over at Columbia Records sent me this: The combination of being a Dylan fan and total technology nerd had me jump for joy. I didn't realize however, that when I plugged this bad boy in, I would have access to Bob Dylan's first 8 original mono recordings and the new Witmark demos. Over five decades ago, Bob Dylan recorded these demos for Witmark andamp; Sons Publishing, originally written for other artists to record. Eventually, some of these songs were put back in the studio for his own albums (Blowin' In The Wind, Hard Rain, etc.) The use of piano on some of these tunes, like The Times They Are A-Changin' and Mr. Tambourine Man makes the originals far different from the final release. There's also a bit of studio chatter that is cool to hear, especially for a fan like me who never got a chance to see Bob perform live in his prime. Boots of Spanish Leather is my favorite of all the tracks after first listen... I would love to hear one of our artists cover it. The Witmark Demos will be released on October 19th, and you can also grab Dylan's first 8 studio albums in their original mono form as well. Too bad one of those sweet t-shirts wouldn't fit in this little USB. - Lindsay

07-14-07 Hartford, CT

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 16:26:00 -0700

2007-07-14 New England Dodge Music Center - Hartford, CT Since my last blog, I\'ve received a bunch of links to taped JM shows from the last several years. Today I was sent a recording from the Hartford show during the 2007 summer tour (the one with Ben Folds) and instantly started laughing when I saw the setlist. I remember being at that show, and a girl in the crowd holding up a sign declaring she was \"Finally Legal\". Needless to say, the intro to Vultures that night turned into a jam about all the things you can do when you turn 18. Or maybe just what this girl did. \"Gonna use my new I.D. to buy some poster board, gonna use my new I.D. to get myself a marker, gonna use my new ID (not the fake one) to get a ruler. Gonna go to the John Mayer show \'cause now I\'m so much cooooooler.\" I imagine she\'s finally able to enjoy an ice cold one now, too. This show also featured a really great acoustic performance of Slow Dancing in the encore and it\'s nice to hear a live rendition of Dreaming With a Broken Heart. Does anyone have a favorite performance or recording from the 2010 Summer Tour? Maybe it would be cool if we put a few of them together in an EP.... recordings@johnmayer.com! - Lindsay

Bay Area Love / Summer Tour Recap Part 1

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 17:36:00 -0700

It\'s a really crazy thing, to absolutely love what you do for a living. To work for musicians whom you believe in, to spend your days and nights spreading your love to others, hoping that they too will one day \"get it\". What\'s more amazing is the escape that this music can allow you. It\'s a way to remove yourself from whatever bad situation is going on in your life. It\'s a path to disconnect and help you find your center. Getting to experience those songs live, in person, with 20,000 people who feel the same way? That is the ultimate \"don\'t worry\" moment. Everything\'s gonna turn out alright. No matter how long I end up working in this industry, I never want to forget why I started in the first place - because I love music. Seeing fans rocking out in their seats at a shed show every summer is something I want to always inspire me to keep doing my job better. It\'s this level of appreciation that drives musicians to continue making music and sharing it with the world. The amount of time I spent on the road this summer with John opened my eyes to see that even in hard times, in times where people have to count their change, music is still a release. That, a concert ticket is much more than a piece of paper but more like a way out. It\'s reminder that for at least one night, you can get out of your own head and just have a good time. Mayer fans are a breed of their own. You all are a community of people who turn to music for the answers. You bow down to the guitar solos and welcome with open arms the 12 minute jams, even though you\'re still secretly hoping for Daughters. You are the most loyal fans I\'ve ever seen. It\'s been an incredible summer seeing you dance and sing along in the crowds. This is the \'road journal\'. Let\'s recap this summer tour, shall we? After spending a few days in San Francisco for meetings back in August, I headed to the Shoreline Amphitheater for John\'s bay area gig. Now, first thing you have to know is that this venue is special for many reasons, but number one is that it was designed by Bill Graham. After spending a day nerd-ing out over the BG-era archives at Wolfgang\'s Vault, I was especially psyched to see what exactly Bill had in mind when putting this place together. It was originally designed for The Grateful Dead, so each row of seats has extra room to allow fans to stand, dance and full on rock out. The backstage production offices are all centered around a deck where the band and crew can eat together and presently play ping pong. And if you\'ve ever seen an aerial shot, the amphitheater was designed to represent the cover of the album \"Steal Your Face\", so the shed kind of looks like a giant skull. And of course that\'s not to mention the giant skull with roses that sits perched on a hill backstage. This show seemed really special to me - maybe because for the first time on the tour, as the sun went down, so did the temperature. It was the first time you felt a cool breeze sitting on the side of the stage so all the chills you got could have been from the weather... but they were definitely from the music, too. Slow Dancing really stood out to me that night and there was a moment during the show where John did his best to play a solo without making any sort of guitar-face. Then DRH took over during JM\'s pee break and the whole crowd sang along to Sittin\' on the Dock of the Bay into the Why Georgia Remix. \"I am driving up the 101 in the kind of morning that last all afternoon...\". Waiting\'s bridge went into Marvin Gaye\'s Inner City Blues, but it was Heartbreak Warfare that made the most impact. For the first time, John took the stage solo and the crowd sang back up for the first verse and chorus of the tune. You forget how intimate that song really is until you hear it stripped down so bare. Friends, Lovers or Nothing was a pleasant surprise at the end of the set and Half of My Heart included an In Repair name drop and a little of Fleetwood Mac\'s Dreams. Thank you Bay Area for seeping that night deep in music history. I can\'t wait to come back. - L If you\'d like to submit a tape of this show to share, please e-mail recordings@johnmayer.com.

West Coast, Part One

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:37:00 -0700

The whole west coast run has been a whirl wind - from getting a chance to see some serious music history in San Francisco, to seeing John cover both Hendrix and Dylan in one night at Irvine. This is part one: Before meeting up with the tour at Shoreline, I spent a few days in San Fran for meetings, but the most memorable time was the day I spent at Wolfgang's Vault. For those not in the know, Wolfgang's Vault is another name for Bill Graham's archives. It's the place where every piece of psychedelic rock history from the late 60's and early 70's is kept in pristine condition and cataloged by artist. We're talking original show contracts signed by James Brown himself, handwritten Jimi Hendrix lyrics on cocktail napkins and original ticket stubs from Jefferson Airplane shows. One of the highlights of the day was getting to see how there are very few current artists in the Bill Graham archives, and John is one of them. Below are two JM show posters from 2002, one from The Greek, the other from The Fillmore. A little John Mayer nerd history.

Governor's Island Performance

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:00:00 -0700

Last night we got to jump on the ferry and head over to Governor's Island to see The Walkmen play with Grizzly Bear. It started to pour as soon as the band went into "Juveniles" to close their set. Big Ass Lens was on site to capture video footage of the beach-side show and you can get a preview with Angela Surf City below.

Pat joined John on stage in Homdel on Tuesday night to show Don Henley some love and cover Boys of Summer.

Philly/Camden/Cheesesteak Land

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:26:00 -0700

Philly/Camden definitely had one of the most energetic crowds of the tour. I got to meet fans from all over the world; some who had flown in from places like Brazil and Sweden, just to catch a Mayer show. Others were there for the "summer ritual", because live music in July and August is the best way to celebrate friendship. War of My Life really stood out tonight, with a little Tom Petty - You Don't Know How It Feels intro. John talked about how sometimes we feel the pressure of always having to be 100% in life, but it's OK to freak out, to hurt, to not feel right. He let everyone know that it's supposed to be that way sometimes, that we all go through it and once in a while you just have to reboot and fight on. -L

Oh That Was So Real...(Updated!)

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:04:00 -0700

Getting to see JM play Jones Beach is always a full circle moment for me, mostly because that's the hometown venue I grew up in. It's a music homebase in a way, and that makes each show there so much more special. There's also the damp salty air that frizzes your hair and the smell of low-tide, but I might appreciate that more than most. After spending some time in guitar world and monitor land on the backstage tour that afternoon, JM headed out in a Ben and Jerry's truck to visit the tailgaters and pass out free Milk and Cookies. Next time John Mayer asks you if you want some free ice cream, make sure to reply with "please pass the spoon!" because that stuff was deeeelish. I say it after every show, but this was my favorite performance of the tour. After the early back to back set of Clarity and Georgia (with a Jimi Thing intro, WHAT?!), I knew we were in for a throwback of a night. Heartbreak Warfare was a 'sing-your-heart-out-along'; an anthem. "I swear to god we're gonna get it right if you just lay your bullshit down." Yep, exactly. Then came the 'Part 2' Perfectly Lonely, right before John asked if it had started raining. It had, and so began the impromptu version of Covered In Rain that actually stopped the drops. Big props to the new band members for learning that one on the spot. Raspberry Beret made me realize how many of you need to go buy some Prince records (ha!) until Good Love! swept in and counter acted the earlier acknowledged heartache. Half of My Heart (and Don't Stop Believing) was one of my favorite moments of the night. The Jones Beach choir sang in a beautiful delayed unison and kept the song going ("oh oh oh ohhhhh") while John made his way to front of house, getting a little closer to the crowd. He surprised everyone with the best acoustic encore I could have asked for (ok, well the best acoustic encore I could ask for might include 3 additional songs). I think that was the first time I've heard Wonderland (minus Storytellers) in maybe 3 years? It's always going to be a reminder of how long John has been playing music, and how he's grown as an artist while his fans have grown with him. I think of it as this really beautiful moment of nostalgia, and growing up. I had gotten a sneak peek of the setlist before the show, so I knew he was going to bust out In Your Atmosphere, but it still did not prepare me for chills that the first few chords of the song always bring. "I'm gonna steer clear, I like my life in New York City right here..." summed up everything, until he went into Jeff Buckley's So Real, which, well let's put it this way, in the words of Ina, "LA Song into Buckley? Oh my god I'm gonna die", pretty much killed me. When JM joined the band on the main stage again, I was waiting for the magic of Edge of Desire to take over, but was pleasantly surprised when John decided to sing the lyrics of Heart of Life as an intro. That song can just fix a whole lot of things. Jones Beach, you were amazing last week. Thanks for sharing that one with me and the entire Mick team. -L You can download the entire show here, courtesy of the Z-Man. I took these at the satellite stage during the encore...

NC Raleigh Likes Rain

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 14:16:00 -0700

Day 1 Recap

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 14:27:00 -0700

Last night was one of the strongest tour openers I've ever seen. After some serious rain and thunder, the skies opened up and cooled off the air to set the perfect atmosphere. The guys from Train rocked, serving hit after hit with a little participation from some audience members. At 8:30pm, John and the band hit the stage runnin', jamming into Vultures and then heading right into Clarity. Ain't No Sunshine had this funky, almost reggae feel and getting to hear Do You Know Me with Bob Reynolds on sax was probably my favorite moment of the night. Boy did I miss those horns. Plus I mean closing with a full band Edge of Desire?! Pshhh... amazing. The below shot was during Half of My Heart > Dreams > Carolina. See you tonight Raleigh. Get your game faces on.

AKOG 2010

Tue, 25 May 2010 14:02:00 -0700

Kris and I spent the past week working with our friend Brian from Reverb on what we can do to make the AKOG Eco-Village special, this summer.
Another Kind of Green (AKOG) is a collaboration between John and Reverb, where fans can learn more about important issues at the venue each night before John plays by simply walking around the amphitheater. Each night, volunteers will speak with fans about green touring, ways to get involved and how to take action. We'll also be selling green Heartbreak Warfare decals to offset the carbon footprint the tour leaves. If you'd like to volunteer with Reverb, and get a chance to see JM this summer, head here and sign up. In exchange for volunteering with Reverb for a few hours, you'll receive access to the general admission area to catch the show once John's set starts, and you'll also get a pretty cool volunteer t-shirt. See you out there! -L
