Sharon’s Global Celebrity Update

Yes, John Mayer’s tour of New Zealand this April.

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.

There’s no assembly-line dancers or manufactured costume changes; it’s Mayer’s sweet voice and what’s been called his “guitar ninja-dom” that style-up the room—and both these he lets rip.

Whether it’s his heart on his sleeve or the watch on his wrist – both are obsessions – Mayer wears them proudly.

Synchronise your watches people, Mayer is here in April.
