I am a fan of Guy Sebastian and John Mayer - Guy turned me onto John Mayer by saying, when asked in media interviews, who was he listening to and he many times has said Continuum - on repeat!

Guy Sebastian is a young Soul Singer from Australia who has recently had great success with a multiple platinum album entitled THE MEMPHIS ALBUM where he got the original musicians (who wrote and played on a lot of these SOUL classic tracks) STEVE CROPPER and the MGs - who are also the original Blues Brothers Band to be his band on his tribute album - although his other albums have been his original material - The Memphis Album is a 14 track album and 11 of the 14 tracks on this album were first takes and LIVE recordings to analogue tape the way they used to do - back in the SOUL day

so impressed was Steve Cropper (who is voted second in rank behind Jimi Hendrix as the greatest guitar playert ever) with Guy in the studio that he and the MGs came out to Australia to tour the album all around the country - these guys dont need the money - they can live forever on the royalties from Knock On Wood, Dock of the Bay GREEN ONIONS!! The Memphis Tour was a sellout :

I am shamelessly promoting Guy Sebastian here but also letting you know that John Mayer has a very healthy fan following in Australia and here is a link to JMofficial thread on Guy Sebastian's site

I believe that Guy and John met in Australia when John was doing promotion for Continuum - they stayed up all night hanging out .... and then both of them had to do a high profile Aussie breakfast show the next day with 1 -2 hours sleep well probably no sleep :

anyways here is a post from Guy just today which mentions them hooking up again in US

Hey partners hope you are all well just popping in to say hi from Nashville. I just arrived last night and i am staying at the Croppers house (amazing).

We had some ribs this afternoon and it was worth the long international flight just for that. We are meant to be writing but we are mainly just jamming and hanging out and getting ready for a little private show we have in a couple days. Their house is unbelievable, its huge!! So much cool memorabilia to check out too.

I just spent a few days writing with David Ryan Harris and that went well we had a lot of fun too. On the first night i went to check out one of Davids gigs and it he was amazing as usual. John Mayer was there too so was good to catch up with him. he just spent a month holidaying in Japan just getting away from it all so we were both majorly jetlagged.

So here i am in Nashville and im missing home but definitely loving it here.

Much love to you all
Guy
