This weekend its TheGRAMMY® Award-winning artist, celebrated songwriter, and iconic guitar player John Mayer returning to the Bayou City with his Sob Rock Tour.
(From All Music.com) After making his introduction as a sensitive, acoustic-styled songwriter on 2001's Room for Squares, John Mayer steadily widened his approach over the subsequent years, encompassing everything from blues-rock to adult contemporary in the process. As 
adept a guitarist as a singer, Mayer gained widespread attention, spiking his songcraft with jazz chords and literate turns of phrase. The combination proved to be quite popular, as Room for Squares went triple-platinum before its follow-up release, Heavier Things, arrived in 2003 at the top of the Billboard 200. Accolades followed, including Grammys for hits like "Your Body Is a Wonderland" and "Daughters."

Nevertheless, his strength lay in taking it easy, a quality evident on "Pure Love," his breakthrough number one in 1974. Arriving just after Charlie Rich brought a similar country-soul synthesis into the upper reaches of the charts, "Pure Love" rocketed to number one on Billboard's country charts, followed to that position by "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" -- a one-two punch 
that turned the singer into a star. Milsap sustained that stardom for nearly two decades, remaining a fixture in the charts by subtly, slyly adapting to the times: he borrowed some of the urbane slickness of Urban Cowboy at the dawn of the '80s and happily made videos during the peak of MTV. As he entered his mature phase, he capitalized on a nostalgic streak, remaking rock & roll chestnuts in the mid-'80s, thereby setting himself up to ease into the oldies circuit once the hits dried up in the early '90s. Despite relying on his old songs, Milsap never entirely stopped recording, resurfacing every decade or so for a splashy comeback along the lines of 2006's My Life or 2019's The Duets, albums that punctuated such easy-rolling records as 2021's A Better Word for Love. Milsap earned an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014. (Read more @All Music.com click here)
