John Mayer’s Solo Acoustic Tour And What we Wish His Setlist Will Look Like

John Mayer announced a solo acoustic arena tour featuring 19 stops in North America this week. “I began my career on stage with only a guitar and a microphone,” he shared. “A lot has changed since then, but I knew one day I’d feel it in my heart to do an entire run of shows on my own again, just like those early days.” 

This comes after Mayer announced his departure from Columbia Records last year. John made it pretty clear that he was not calling it quits, stating that, “I love music more than ever, and I believe some of my best work still lies ahead.”

This tour will be his first solo endeavor since the departure. It will include “acoustic, electric and piano” picks of songs from his discography. Of all the songs he has to his name, here are 20 songs we hope he plays on his solo tour, with a focus on the acoustic and piano favourites.

1. ‘Still Feel Like Your Man’
2. ‘Dreaming With A Broken Heart’
3. ‘Stop This Train’
4. ‘Why Georgia’
5. ‘In Your Atmosphere’
6. ‘Neon’
7. ‘The Heart of Life’
8. ‘Free Fallin’

9. ‘Who Says’
10. ‘Born and Raised’
11. ‘I Will Be Found (Lost At Sea)’
12. ‘The Age of Worry’
13. ‘Love is a Verb’
14. ‘Emoji of a Wave’
15. ‘XO’
16. ‘I Guess I Just Feel Like’
17. ‘Shouldn’t Matter But It Does’
18. ‘Dear Marie’
19. ‘Daughters’
20. ‘No Such Thing’
