MAYER TO TOUR WITH HERO FOLDS
JOHN MAYER struck gold when BEN FOLDS agreed to tour with him this summer (07) - because the pop pianist is the man the guitarist credits for kickstarting his career.
John Mayer performs live in concert on his Continuum World Tour '06/'07 at Madison Square Garden. New York City, USA - 28.02.07
Mayer admits he was a huge fan of Folds' group Ben Folds Five and claims listening to the group's tunes helped him hone his own songwriting talents.
The guitarist explains, "I'm just a huge Ben Folds fan, and Ben Folds Five was kind of a catalyst for me going from a guitar player to a songwriter.
"Those first two records are just stunning, and when I was kind of thirsting for lyrical information, it just filled me in. I'm such a huge fan.
"I was kind of selfish and wanted to hear Ben Folds play all summer."
