| John Mayer |
|
|
Monday 3 May |
| Bringing, in song, his latest on love, heartbreak and life lessons, it’s a wiser, more enlightened Mayer who will head downunder, bringing the 70's and 80's California rock/pop sound of his new album, Battle Studies, for a tour of the same name. He calls Battle Studies a “from-the-gut” confessional and, if it can be said of his album, it is definitely true of his concerts. They’re intimate with the same “efficiency of simplicity” he says marks his new record. |
