“How did you come up with that mashup idea?”
Several months ago, I was invited to perform at a wedding. The couple wanted some live, acoustic music to set the tone for their special night. When I play weddings, I love to do the old romantic classics (Sinatra, The Temptations, Frankie Valli, etc...), but I also want to include a good mix of modern stuff (Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, etc…).
As I sat at home, brushing up on my acoustic version of “My Girl,” I started noodling around with the intro. It kind of reminded me of the iconic acoustic guitar riff from “Your Body Is a Wonderland” by John Mayer. I messed around with it a bit before the wedding but didn’t think too much of it at first.
The night of the wedding was beautiful. Their ceremony was held in a lovely backyard garden, and the smooth acoustic music made it feel like a dream. I played a few songs and it seemed to be going perfectly. I could tell that people were enjoying the music; I got warm smiles and an occasional thumbs up. Then, when I started playing “My Girl,” I noticed some folks couldn’t help but start to move with the music. As I played through the song, I didn’t want it to end, so I kept going with it, but sort of transitioned into the John Mayer riff. I saw some eyes light up as the folks recognized what I was doing with the song, and I just ran with it on the spot. It ended up being a really cool, spontaneous mashup.
I got a lot of great feedback from the bride and groom along with several wedding guests who really enjoyed the music that night. Near the end of the evening, one man came up to me and told me this was the best music he had ever heard at a wedding. He clarified “And I’ve been to a lot of weddings over the years!”
After that experience, I played it for some friends and at other live settings. The response was so positive that I came up with an arrangement and showed it to my producer friend, Stephen Moyer. He liked it and we decided to throw it down in studio. I hope you enjoy!
