About Jason Mraz
A former busker with a self-described hippie streak, singer/songwriter/surfer Jason Mraz has a gift for observations about lifeās silver linings and effervescent melodies that are a staple of contemporary pop radio and bonfire strum-alongs. Born in Mechanicsville, Virginia, in 1977, Mraz was a natural performer from his early days in school plays and talent shows. In high school, he fell under the sway of the local jam circuit before picking up the guitar himself at 18. Mrazās eternally sunny pop seemed destined for California, so he headed west in 1999 and, after making the rounds of San Diegoās coffeehouse scene, secured a weekly gig at Java Joe's, which once hosted a residency by Mrazās future tourmate Jewel. In 2002 he signed a record deal and released his debut, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, which was propelled by the slippery half-spoken lyrics and deep-pocket groove of "The Remedy (I Wonāt Worry).ā Through the 2000s, Mraz toured and recorded relentlessly, issuing increasingly polished albumsā2005ās Mr. A-Z and 2008ās We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Thingsāthat float effortlessly in the warm cross-currents of melodic folk, rootsy pop, and soft rock. He returned to a simpler acoustic sound with 2014ās Yes!, a shuffling folk-pop album backed by all-female band Raining Jane. In 2015, he appeared alongside singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles on her What's Inside: Songs from Waitress, and in 2017 he made his Broadway debut in the Waitress role of Dr. Pomatter that same year. The transition from studio to stage was another seemingly effortless triumph in a career thatās been filled with them.
