Mayer's Grateful Dead Listening Party Offers Solace
6 Mar
Summary
- John Mayer launches Grateful Dead Listening Party to connect fans.
- Parties occur Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Sirius XM channel.
- Mayer reflects on his bond with the late Bob Weir.
In the aftermath of Bob Weir's passing, John Mayer has initiated a Grateful Dead Listening Party. Mayer found that listening to the band's music alone after Weir's death made him feel isolated, realizing the profound impact of the musician's presence.
To foster a sense of community, Mayer will host the listening parties every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on his 'LIFE with John Mayer' Sirius XM channel. During these two-hour sessions, he plans to play cherished Grateful Dead and Dead & Company recordings, offering personal commentary on each selection.
Mayer recently shared reflections on his musical partnership with Weir, who passed away in January at age 78. He described a deep connection and mutual trust that developed over the years, allowing for seamless musical improvisation and understanding between them.
