As a young child in India (where his parents were Lutheran Missionaries), Mayer had a passion for music, according to his bio. Drawing musical influence from his upbringing, Mayer’s music evokes melodic notes such as music and lyrics of The Beatles, traditional Indian music, church hymns and jazz standards.

After moving back to the United States, he went on to study formal theory and composition and taught jazz guitar as a faculty member at Webster University. In 1988, Mayer released his debut album for Warner Brothers Records with the group PM. Working with producer Elliott Scheiner (Steely Dan, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Hornsby) – this album produced the single “Piece of Paradise,” charting to number eight on Billboard. He has since released several albums.

Proceeds go to support The Somerville Educational Foundation For more information, contact Dan at 908-285-8217.
