Folds and Mayer... Finally · 16 March 2007
??Ben Folds to Tour with John Mayer
John Mayer has tapped Ben Folds as the primary opener for his Continuum summer tour, which kicks off June 1 in Ridgefield, Wash. Additionally, blues-rocker Rocco DeLuca, Dueltone artist Brett Dennen and British songwriter James Morrison will all spend time in the supporting slot during the 38-date trek.
??Tickets for most tour dates go on sale to the public on March 24. The tour comes in support of Mayer’s album “Continuum,” released last year, which recently earned him two Grammy Awards for best pop vocal album and best male pop vocal performance on that album’s single, “Waiting on the World to Change.”
??Mayer is also scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 5.
Singer/songwriter Ben Folds will be embarking on his own headlining tour at the end of this month, beginning March 24 at Assumption College in Worchester, Mass. He recently released “Live at My Space,” a DVD featuring his performance on Myspace.com’s first live-by-request Webcast from last year.

Seriously… this is possibly the best tour I could ever have possibly fathomed. Ben Folds…. AND John Mayer. My two favourite musicians of all time. I’ve been to all of their concerts whenever they’ve been in Australia but they’ve always toured separately.
I met Ben back in August last year and had my caricature signed when I went to see Mayer in Melbourne in November last year. Two of the most talented lyrisits and original musicians the world has ever seen and they’re touring the us in 2007…
.. and I live in Australia.
