Lisa Crawley To Open For John Mayer

JOHN MAYER NEW ZEALAND TOUR
with special guest
LISA CRAWLEY

Chugg Entertainment is pleased to announce that singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lisa Crawley is to open for John Mayer at his Wellington and Auckland shows next Tue 27th and Wed 28th April.

A unique talent in New Zealand, Lisa has travelled the world with her music and since having returned to NZ last year she has kept herself busy recording and playing live, quickly re-establishing herself as a known presence in the Auckland music scene. Most recently she wowed the crowd supporting Jools Holland and played the Auckland Town Hall. She has recently released her second EP "Hello, Goodbye, and Everything Inbetween", the keenly anticipated follow up to her first EP "Shoot The Night".

Lisa will play with her 3 piece band at the TSB Bank Arena in Wellington and with her full band at Vector Arena in Auckland. With a live show that incorporates elements of jazz, country, pop, indie and a charmingly dry wit, Lisa Crawley will be the perfect addition to John Mayers' performances.

Chugg Entertainment today confirmed John Mayer’s seven-date tour of New Zealand and Australia this April and May, including concerts in Newcastle and Wollongong.

Bringing, in song, his latest on love, heartbreak and life lessons, it’s a wiser, more enlightened Mayer who, with the 70's and 80's California rock/pop sound of his new album, Battle Studies, heads to the Antipodes for a tour of the same name.

Four studio albums, seven Grammy Awards and nearly 13 million album sales in just nine years, the now 32-year-old isn’t just getting older – a worry he cast adrift with the 2006 release of his here-I-am, blown-open, mega-success, Continuum – he’s getting better.

Since his 2001 debut, Room For Squares, and the world-wide radio group hug given to its hit, Your Body Is A Wonderland, as well as the Grammy it brought; to 2003’s Heavier Things and two more Grammys; to his first co-producing turn with Steve Jordan on the four-time Grammy Award winning, hit-harnessed, Continuum, which included Waiting On The World To Change, I Don’t Trust Myself (With Loving You) and Gravity; to his latest and fourth studio album, his second time producing with Jordan, the November 2009 released, Battle Studies; Mayer’s kind of gravity heads only one way. Up.

He calls Battle Studies a “from-the-gut” confessional and, if it can be said of his album, it is definitely true of his concerts. They’re intimate with the same “efficiency of simplicity” he says marks his new record.

There’s no assembly-line dancers or manufactured costume changes; it’s Mayer’s sweet voice and what’s been called his “guitar ninja-dom” that style-up the room—and both these he lets rip.

Whether it’s his heart on his sleeve or the watch on his wrist – both are obsessions – Mayer wears them proudly.

Fans keep time.

Mayer makes a practical symphony of the screaming upon screaming upon screaming which is universally in-chorus at all his live shows. He speaks with his audience, tells them things about himself, lets them know him.

Fans talk of an ‘afterglow’ having seen him live and they bathe in it for days.

“John makes them feel like he’s singing for just them, to just them, it’s very personal,” says promoter, Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg.

Synchronise your watches people, Mayer is here in April and May.
