David Ryan Harris feat. John Mayer and Friends - YSD Jam Session - Hotel Café - 2/4/2020 4K Video

David Ryan Harris plays 'Yesterday Shutting Down' with his phenom of a band, featuring Jacob Luttrell on keys and vocals, Isaiah Sharkey on Electric Guitar, Terence Clark on Drums, Sean Hurley on Bass, Nikki Flores, Tiffany Palmer, and Carlos Ricketts on BGVs, Rashawn Ross on Trumpet, Bob Reynolds on Saxophone (AKA the B*itch Whistle), and featuring special guest John Mayer on Electric Guitar. This closed out night two of David's shows at the Hotel Cafe on 2/4/2020.

The video skips right after Mayer's solo because my camera only records 15 minute videos and I didn't want it to cut off at a more important point. :)

great work with the camera man. felt like you did a good job following the energy in the room, showing the whole group when the jam was reaching across everyone and showing the artist him/herself when it was majorly them bringing it. thanks for this great watch. this video has been on repeat since early morning and ill be riding this high for a bit longer. shoobadoobap.

John knows how to be in a band. Uncle Bobby helped him out

[@gerryn2]

I think he is feeling lucky to be there, listening to that awesome shit and also being on stage to add to it a little bit. I feel he would die not having a guitar in his hand listening to this as an audience member :). I think John Mayer is just a cool guy that knows everyone and they want him there but he's like a bit shy until someone tells him to let it rip - unless it's his own show. The man is a legend already but - and I made another comment like this just now but - like Clapton said, he doesn't really know it yet, or acknowledges it. We haven't seen the best of John Mayer yet in 2020 I think and that's saying a fucking lot coming from Room for Squares.
