Growing up near Bridgeport, Connecticut in the 1980s, few saw John Mayer as a future rock star or a guitar hero. As a kid, Mayer glommed onto stringed technicians like Jimi Hendrix, Sting , and Mayer's all-time personal idol, Stevie Ray Vaughn.

In his teens, Mayer could be found gigging at local blues bars. John Mayer then headed up to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music. That's where Mayer met future band member Clay Cook

John Mayer then headed south to Atlanta, Georgia, becoming a regular at open mic nights around the city. In 2000, John Mayer wowed industry talent scouts during his South by Southwest Music Festival appearance in Austin, Texas. He was soon signed by a Columbia Records subsidiary, Aware Records.

John Mayer was paired with producer John Alagia, (Dave Matthews Band, Ben Folds Five) for his Aware debut, Room for Squares in 2000. Columbia Records then re-released his demo album on its own Columbia imprint.

John Mayer's star continued to rise and his musicianship drew attention. In 2003, "Your Body Is A Wonderland" nabbed John Mayer the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance. Later that year, Mayer released his third album, Heavier Things to critical acclaim. It won two Grammies - Best Pop Vocal Performance, and another for the single "Daughters."

Much to his amazement, John Mayer was invited to perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in 2004. In an orgasmic twist of fate, Mayer found himself playing on stage with B.B. King, J.J. Cale, Hubert Sumlin, Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, and Slowhand himself. Mayer not only showed he had been paying attention to his guitar-playing predecessors, but that he had plenty new to show as well.
