Jason Mraz headed to two SA cities

Yes! Soulful singer, Jason Mraz is headed to South African shores in the new year!

ATLANTIC recording artist Jason Mraz is celebrating the recent release of his new album Yes! and after a highly successful tour in the US followed by sold-out performances in the East, the Philippines and Australia, this Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter has announced he will tour South Africa for the first time early next year.

Brought to this country by Showtime Management, the tour includes two concerts at the Teatro at Montecasino followed by one Cape Town concert at Grand Arena, Grand West. The concerts will feature backing from Yes! collaborators, Raining Jane.

One of the world’s hardest-working and most-beloved artists, Mraz’s journey has propelled him from the San Diego coffee house scene to arenas, amphitheatres and stadiums 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 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, inspiring and delighting his countless fans around the world he calls home.

Yes! marks what is perhaps the most unexpected and accomplished collection of this musician’s already extraordinary career. Highlighted by the first single, Love Someone, the album – which finds Mraz teaming up with his longtime friends, Raining Jane – debuted at No 1 on the sales charts in 46 territories around the world.

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.
