The performances will span from March 11 in Newark, New Jersey, through April 14 in Los Angeles, California. Tickets for the shows go on sale Friday, February 3, at 9 a.m. local time via JohnMayer.com.

The new acoustic gigs mark the first time in his career that Mayer will set out solo acoustic. Mayer will be joined by singer/songwriters Lizzy McAlpine, Alec Benjamin, and a special guest to be announced at a later time as the show openers.

“Twenty years in the making, this audacious trek features solo performances by Mayer, leaning heavily on his acoustic guitar work with special performances on piano and electric guitar, in arenas throughout the U.S. and Canada,” a press statement reads.

In addition to the shows themselves, there will be a charitable aspect to the evenings. Two pairs of front-row tickets will be auctioned off for each performance on the tour via charityauctionstoday.com. Proceeds from those auctions will go to the Back To You Fund, which supports at-risk youth and the homeless.
