New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Farmer, philanthropist, and Grammy-winning musician
Jason Mraz today released a special Ska version of his Grammy-winning track "Make It Mine."
The song is the first in a series of re-imagined Mraz classics that he'll share in the coming weeks which will culminate in the deluxe reissue of "Look For The Good" on 16th July. The "Look For The Good" deluxe reissue will feature updated classics as well as some brand new songs.
"Look For The Good", released last June, features guest appearances by actress/comedian Tiffany Haddish and reggae icon Sister Carol. Mraz announced on the album's release day that all of his profits from Look For The Good, including his label advance and subsequent royalties, would be donated to non-profit organizations who serve to advance opportunity and equality for
Black lives.
On Friday Mraz announced his first US tour dates since the onset of the pandemic. "Look For The Good Live!" kicks off July 30th at Austin's legendary Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater and runs through August 28 at Pittsburgh's Rock, Reggae, and Relief. Tickets go on sale on
Thursday 27th May at 10 AM local time. For all details, visit jasonmraz.com.
Mraz enlisted his 13-piece reggae band to hit the road with him, featuring many of the performers from his latest album, Look For The Good. The unique setlist each night will feature songs from that album plus re-imagined Mraz classics and never-before-heard new compositions.
"When we recorded Look For The Good, we knew we had created something special, something uplifting, that needed to be performed in front of live audiences," said Mraz. "And then, right before our shows began, the world stopped. Like many artists we created quarantine concerts across the internet, but no matter how big the digital reach, it doesn't compare to being in the same room. We've been patiently waiting for this day: when the curtain goes up in Austin -- it will be a celebration of life, with a new appreciation for live music, and in-person connections we've all been missing."
In addition to the tour dates, Mraz will make a very special appearance with the San
Diego Symphony at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, the Symphony's new permanent outdoor venue on San
Diego Bay, on
September 26th.
