John Mayer will hit the road this fall with his new trio, featuring bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan. The trek will play clubs and theatres beginning Sept. 6-7 at the Fillmore in San Francisco, and will wrap Oct. 12 in Philadelphia with the last of three dates opening for the Rolling Stones.
The group will play a mix of covers, past Mayer hits reworked for a trio setting and new material. “The challenge is choosing which tunes to play,” Mayer recently told Billboard. “All I have is six strings, all Pino has is four and Steve his drum set.”
Joss Stone and Ray LaMontagne are confirmed to open select shows, with additional support to be announced.
