Last weekend (Labor Day weekend) John Mayer was in performance in Aspen, CO. at Jazz Aspen Snowmass' Labor Day Experience. This weekend the singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer will be in Houston at our Toyota Center.
While in Aspen, Co the Aspen Times.com reported a woman had thrown her bra on stage while he was performing, The news outlet reported,“One enthusiastic fan (immediately) tossed her bra on stage to signify she was, in fact, there for Mayer. A bemused Mayer looked down at the bra and used the moment to lightly touch on his once controversial and very public past as a sort of tone-deaf sex fiend, and to note his maturing reaction to fan underwear arriving on-stage. Bras, the 41-year-old noted, have a practical purpose: “Now I’m an older and wiser person and I’m thinking, ‘There is someone out there without support.’”

Houston native Renee Elise Goldsberry makes her way to Jones Hall for the Performing Arts with the back drop of Houston's Symphony Pops this weekend.
It was on a stag
e that Renée’s career got its start, right here in Houston. “I was raised in Houston, and I always come home once or twice a year,” she proudly proclaimed. “I went to Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart and Spring Branch Middle School. I was baptized at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, and I’ve spent every New Year’s Eve and birthday in Houston for as long as I can remember.”
The Houston International Theater School (HITS) first set Renée on her theatrical path. “That’s where I fell in love with Broadway. When I was 8 years old, I was in Guys and Dolls, in the chorus in the back with a bunch of other kids,” she said. The same year, Houston Grand Opera came looking for child performers. “They needed a children’s company. They auditioned over at HITS, and my brother and I got to be the little urchin children in Carmen. We were the kids onstage eating oranges.”
