Have you seen the new Hypebeast magazine, featuring a gorgeous spread of our hero, John Mayer?  It’s absolutely gorgeous, AND a JM fan just donated one to us!!!  So we’re giving it away in a FREE random drawing THIS WEEKEND!

Yes, we do have an ulterior motive… and that is to spread awareness of the debilitating childhood disease, MPS.  This Sunday, May 15th, is MPS Awareness Day around the world, and we want to blow up Instagram in a sea of purple!

***************

Here’s how to enter:

Post a picture between now and Sunday on Instagram*… OF ANYTHING PURPLE…  with the HASHTAGS #MPSawarenessday, #May15, and #JMFST.

That’s all you have to do.  Enter as many times as you like, but you cannot use the same picture twice (duplicates from the same account will be disqualified).  And you MUST use all three hashtags in order for your picture to qualify.

This weekend, we’ll randomly pick a winner, and the Hypebeast will be on its way to you next week!  International entries welcome!

*Sorry, this raffle is ONLY taking place on Instagram.  Tumblr posts, tweets, or FB posts are also wonderful, but will not be counted in the raffle.  Thank you for posting them, though.

*************

Please join the JM Fan Street Team, The Isaac Foundation, and all the MPS kids and their parents in recognizing this important day.  MPS Awareness Day is not just a day to spread awareness, but also a day for us to all celebrate the love we have for our MPS kids and to express it in cyberworld. 

Go!  Show those kids how much we love them!

*************

Note:  We are an informal, worldwide group of John Mayer fans who came together in support of The Isaac Foundation and MPS kids/families.  We are not formally affiliated with either JM or TIF.  John Mayer doesn’t donate merchandise to us; everything that we use in our activities is donated by generous JM fans around the world.  Please see our complete Disclaimer in the right margin of our page.

John Mayer - Comcast Theater (Hartford, CT) 8/16/13

There's absolutely no doubt that #JohnMayerisBack! 

Great city, great weather, great friends and an incredible performance by both Phillip Phillips and The Man, John C Mayer himself!

The event had finally arrived, giving me an opportunity to meet three JM great friends in-person for the first time and watching our guy together for an incredible evening. All of my fears and concerns as to whether he'd make it back from his granuloma, faded instantly with the first note he sang. Well, he had me at hello from the start.....

If you've never experienced a John Mayer concert, or have never really had any interest to, you're missing out on yet another new level he has achieved. The man is ever-evolving with great songs and vocals. No matter the genre, it's pure heaven from this incredible singer/songwriter and ALWAYS a beautiful surprise.

He's already "arrived," but has now taken the stage front and center even happier and at peace with his life and who he is as a person and artist. It just doesn't get any better than that. 

Here's wishing John and all of his fans a great Born and Raised tour!

iTunes exclusive five song EP coming August 7… Sadly (though funny to me) the title is pretty much the truth. Four in studio acoustic performances and the track “Go Easy On Me” from the Born and Raised sessions. A little something for all your support and patience.

I’m about to enter the prep/surgery/recovery wormhole next week (edit: surgery at the end of August) , but I’m excited to get back to it next year. Hope you’re all having a great summer.

I Can See You, And Thank You.

Someone told me that the tag search on Tumblr would be one of the safer doors to open on the internet and that it might be an encouraging experience to read your posts… I’m really glad I did, because I got to connect with and feel a whole lot of love from you all. It’s been strange to release a record with zero crowd noise to go off of, and tonight I really felt like the music I made over the last couple of years really matters. You have all put a huge smile on my face. Thank you.

Well, that’s a wrap on release week promotion for Born and Raised. It’s so phenomenally weird to wake up this morning at home and not in the back of a bus somewhere. On the bright side, releasing this album and getting back in touch with my fans has been something I’ve been waiting to experience for a long time now. I’m finally at a place in my life where I can truly appreciate the kindness and support, and you have shown me lots of it. Thank you for that.

As I understand it, the album is set to enter the charts at number one, which is just incredible on all your parts because there has been very little I’ve been able to do to promote it. In a world of schemes and strategies when it comes to selling something, you guys just bought music you trusted you’d like. You picked it up in the same way I made it… from the heart, no trickery. That is so cool and rare and all the marketeers in the world together can’t manufacture that. I am very grateful to you. 

The making of this record was purposely undocumented, but there are a few iPhone videos and some photos to share. I figure I’ll do that here, and more often than I usually have in the past. Even if this album slides off the charts in a month, it doesn’t make it any less special to me, and we should all be digging this music together, like we would have (and will again) on stage.

Stay tuned…

with thanks and love

John

And yes, already "road-tested" and proven as perfect for road trips. In fact, great for any occasion! Thank you, John for giving us such an incredible masterpiece!

[lindadonewald]

Thank you, John! Absolutely incredible and well worth the wait.

Looking through my JM photo file this morning. Found a few images I haven't seen in a while.
