Jason Mraz Tours Oz Again!

by User Imagelkatulka on May 19th, 2008

One of my favourite singer-songwriter’s Jason Mraz is heading back to Australia. After his last Sydney show clashed with my sister’s sweet 16 party, I’m thrilled. Jason’s back here to promote his new album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things, which hit shelves yesterday.

He may have been out here just two months ago, but you won’t just hear the same old thing. This tour marks the first time Jason’s bringing his complete band to Oz. That’s right: Jason will play alongside percussionist Toca Rivera, bass player Ian Sheridan, drummer Mike “Leroy” Bram, and a three-piece horn section. I’ve seen him do the acoustic thing so many times, it’s going to be amazing to hear him fronting a band that large!

Mraz shows notoriously sell out so you’re going to want to grab your tickets when they go on sale at 9 am on Friday 30 May. Ticketek is selling for all venues except for Perth which will be handled by Moshtix.

See Jason Mraz at the following venues:
6 August 2008 - Fly by Night, Perth
9 August 2008 - Enmore Theatre, Sydney
12 August 2008 - The Forum, Melbourne
14 August 2008 - The Tivoli, Brisbane

    Jason actually brought his entire band out here when he played Aus in March….which was awesome.

    Really? Horns too? Because if so Warner Music really needs to work on reporting the right things in their press releases!

    So are you going back for a second dose this time around Jay?

    OK not the horns (that part is correct), but in March there were times when there were 6ppl on stage - that’s still decently large. The press release & this article is worded as if it’s the 1st time he’s brought his (usual line-up) band to Aus…which isn’t true.

    Having clarified that point, the March show was fantastic & I can’t wait to get the 2nd dose. We’re v.lucky to get two tours in one year!
