Since Mayer's acclaimed studio album Continuum was released in late 2006, he has maintained a focus on music that was recognized by the Recording Academy five times over. As a songwriter, vocalist, performer and collaborator, each of his recent projects were nominated – from "Say," his single composed for the film, The Bucket List, staring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, to his live CD/DVD & BluRay release, Where The Light Is, to his collaboration with Alicia Keys on a song titled, "Lesson Learned," contained on her album, As I Am.

Known for diverse collaborations, Mayer made his annual Thanksgiving appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last week, performing Frank Sinatra's classic, "In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning" with special guest Chris Botti. On December 3rd, he closed the show, performing with the legendary BB King during the first ever broadcast of the "GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! – Countdown To Music's Biggest Night"
