‘Global Citizen’ Jason Mraz Hits The Road
Mraz has slotted a series of dates throughout the world in what his camp describes as a journey to celebrate “music’s lasting power to inspire change and help others through global citizenship.”
Playing shows in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, Mraz will go the acoustic route on many performances as he teams with percussionist Noel “Toca” Rivera. Marking the 10th anniversary of their indie-released Live At Java Joe’s, the two longtime friends will play the Musicians United For Safe Energy (MUSE) concert in Mountain View, Calif., at the Shoreline Amphitheatre Aug. 7, joining a bill that also includes Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Morello, Crosby, Stills & Nash; and Doobie Brothers.
