John Mayer Trio

This evening, 29 December, in downtown San Diego at the Copley Symphony Hall (750 B Street), the John Mayer Trio is performing at 7:30pm.  The trio is comprised of John Mayer, vocals & guitar, Pino Palladino, bassist, and Steve Jordon, drummer.  Together they create music that merges aspects of jazz, folk, funk, soul and rock.  As John was quoted saying, it's "power rockin', electric guitar, in your face blues."  

I can report after attending the concert that the show was very enjoyable and all three of the guys are extremely talented.  The venue at Copley Hall was quite different than the average stadium, field, or hall.  Lined with seats on both the lower and upper levels, the interior was set for a intimate, more conservative, event.  Opening for the Trio was Mayer Hawthorne, a group of guys originally from Ann Arbor Michigan, bringing Detroit Motown to a new level.  They were a great beginning to the evening, getting the crowd warmed up and encouraging everyone to stand up in their seats and move with the music.  By the time the Trio came on stage, everyone was ready to sway, shake and groove.  A great show for sure!
