Songs for a Small Planet
Celebrating the wonder of existence, interconnection, and our shared humanity!
Mayer’s songs are crafted like Shaker furniture, with no place for superfluous embellishments or throwaway lines… [his] world is bright and hopeful and the transcendent nature of his lyrics… explore the mysteries of life… Mayer’s fluid, clean, and tremendously intriguing guitar playing is topped with warm, rich vocals. This is music for the soul. — Ken Sheldon, Acoustic Guitar Magazine
