John Mayer je americký spevák, skladateľ a gitarista, niekoľkonásobný držiteľ ceny Grammy. Jeho tvorba spája prvky blues, popu, rocku a country.
Štúdiový album Born and Raised vyšiel v máji 2012 vo vydavateľstve Columbia a predstavuje ďalší posun v Mayerovom hudobnom štýle — tentoraz smerom k folku a americane s výraznými vplyvmi Boba Dylana, Neila Younga a kalifornskej scény okolo Davida Crosbyho a Stephena Stillsa. Album obsahuje 12 skladieb vrátane Queen of California, Shadow Days a Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967. Obal navrhol David Adrian Smith.
