Five Concert Dates in Florida
Singer-songwriter Jason Mraz has come a long way from the San Diego coffeehouse scene where he was first noticed 15 years ago. In that time, he has sold over 11 million digital singles, won two Grammy Awards, and toured nearly every continent. He’s in the middle of his “YES!” tour right now, and as soon as he wraps up his concert dates in the United Kingdom, he will be playing five concerts for Florida crowds.
The Florida leg of his “YES!” tour brings him to Clearwater at Ruth Eckerd Hall on Saturday, February 14 at 8 p.m.; the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando on Sunday, February 15 at 8 p.m.; the King Center in Melbourne on Monday, February 16 at 7:30 p.m.; the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami on Wednesday, February 18 at 8 p.m.; and the Times-Union Center in Jacksonville on Thursday, February 19 at 8 p.m. He will be joined for all five shows by Raining Jane, the all-girl group that can be heard on his most recent album, YES!
Jason Mraz released his first album on a major record label, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, in 2002. He earned his first top twenty pop hit with “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry).” The album would go on to sell over a million copies. It was his third album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. that earned him worldwide mainstream popularity. The single “I’m Yours” went to #1 in six countries, peaked in the Billboard Top Ten, and stayed on the charts for 76 straight weeks, a record at the time. His most recent album, YES!, was released in July 2014 and featured Raining Jane. Not only did they perform with him on the album, they co-wrote many of his songs.
Jason Mraz is well-known for his social advocacy, helping to combat child slavery, promoting nature conservancy, and working toward equality, specifically with regard to the rights of women and the LGBT community. Jason Mraz became the first straight man to be featured on the cover of Instinct Magazine in 2012, when he was recognized for all the work he has done to support LGBT rights.
