BLACKBERRY PRESENTS
JOHN MAYER SUMMER TOUR
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
COLBIE CAILLAT
& BRETT DENNEN

CRICKET WIRELESS PAVILION
JULY 30, 2008



Phoenix, AZ (April 11, 2008) – The John Mayer 2008 summer tour, sponsored by BlackBerry® and featuring special guests Colbie Caillat and Brett Dennen will make a stop in Phoenix to perform at Cricket Wireless Pavilion on Wednesday, July 30 at 7:00pm. Both Caillat and Dennen, break out artists in their own rights, were among the performers aboard the Mayercraft Carrier in February ’08.

This summer John Mayer will release a brand new CD/DVD & Blu-Ray package that will feature the performances recorded last December at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The special concert includes three distinct sets: an acoustic performance, a rare set with John Mayer Trio (John Mayer, Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino), as well as a CONTINUUM set featuring Mayer’s full-band. This will be the first new release since Continuum became available in September 2006 and incorporates each of the elements that the five-time Grammy-winner is known for - acoustic songwriter, electric guitar slinger, bluesman, and vocalist.John Mayer’s CONTINUUM earned Grammy Awards for Best Pop Vocal Album (CONTINUUM) and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance ("Waiting on the World to Change") at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. In February ‘07, the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine featured John Mayer as one of "The New Guitar Gods," USA Today wrote that Mayer's "smartly crafted third album combines singer/songwriter pop and sinewy guitar blues," and The New York Times opined, "Mayer has been writing songs again, good ones, with all the leanness and directness that distinguish his strongest work."Colbie Caillat’s dusky vocals and laid back rhythms have earned her critical acclaim and l.6 million sales since the release of her debut album COCO last July. The story of Caillat’s myspace rise is well known by now; the power of the site and her legion of fans (24 million!) netted her a record deal, huge sales, a Top 5 album debut and a hit single with the ubiquitous “Bubbly” and the followup “Realize”.Brett Dennen channels folk, world, pop, and rock music into a breathtaking mix that falls easily into one category - timeless. Chris Douridas, host of KCRW's New Ground, raves "rarely does music come along so unadorned, so pure in spirit, and so eloquently written." Dennen has seen a groundswell of support across the country often selling out markets the first time he plays. His debut album, "So Much More" was released in September 2007. Rolling Stone Magazine named Brett an "Artist to Watch" and his track "She's Mine" was #1 on USA Today's Playlist. The Los Angeles Times has declared: "Dennen is ecstatic and hopeful.”
