He Sings, He Dances, He StealsThings

Wed 21st May, 2008 in Local News

Following the release of his highly anticipated new album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things, Jason Mraz returns to Australia for a run of headline dates this August.

After his success at the Blues and Roots Festivals in Perth, Victoria and Byron Bay, Mraz couldn’t wait to come back to us for more. The song-smith sold out his shows in Sydney and Melbourne on his last visit, and is sure to do the same again.

Although We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things was only officially released on May 16, audiences have been singing along to much of his new material for months, thanks to fans bootlegging his shows (with Mraz’ support). The first single from the album I’m Yours is easily one of the biggest sing-along favourites. Not bad for the guy who started out jamming in the coffee houses of Southern California.

Not happy to rest on his past successes, Jason Mraz has been continually touring, performing everywhere from people’s backyards to the opening spot on the Rolling Stones arena show. Fans who keep coming back again and again will tell you that every Jason Mraz show is different and this tour will be no exception.

Mraz has an accomplished, versatile voice, a crossword geek’s love of language and the kind of fun-loving live show that makes people spread the word. (Rolling Stone)
