Jason Mraz to tour SA
Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz has released a new album, 'Yes!', and has announced he will tour South Africa for the first time early in 2015.
The tour includes two concerts at the Teatro at Montecasino on Thursday, 26 and Friday, 27 February, followed by one Cape Town concert at Grand Arena, Grand West on 1 March, 2015. The concerts commence at 8pm and feature backing from 'Yes!' collaborators, Raining Jane. Booking opens at Computicket on Thursday, 27 November, 2014.
Jason Mraz's journey has propelled him from the San Diego coffee house scene to arena, amphitheatres, and stadia all over the world. A two-time Grammy Award winner and six-time nominee, Mraz made pop history with his record-breaking classic single, I'm Yours, while also earning Platinum and multi-Platinum certifications in more than 20 countries. Moreover, the San Diego-based troubadour has proven a truly diverse creative presence. A dedicated surfer, farmer/gardener, filmmaker, and photographer, Mraz is first and foremost a committed global citizen. His impassioned social activism and philanthropic efforts span wide-ranging environmental advocacy and ardent support for LGBT equality. Through it all, Mraz continually confirms and celebrates music's myriad forms and miraculous power.
Number one debut
'Yes!' marks what is perhaps the most unexpected and accomplished collection of the musician's career. Highlighted by the first single, Love Someone, the album - which finds Mraz teaming up with his long-time friends Raining Jane, who will also accompany him to Joburg and Cape Town, debuted at number one in the sales charts in 46 countries.
This year, Mraz made a conscious choice to perform in venues smaller than the usual amphitheatres and arenas. Mraz now looks forward to getting to South Africa for more personalised shows and to interacting with his fans. For up-to-the-minute information, log on to jasonmraz.com/tour.
