Jason Mraz’s Summer Of ‘YES!’

The initial stops on Jason Mraz’s YES! World Tour are here, starting with a hometown show in San Diego. The singer/songwriter will hit up intimate venues in North America this summer, followed by historic theatres and concert halls in Europe.

Mraz is counting down to the July 15 release of his fifth studio album, YES!, by premiering a video of a new song from the LP each week. The videos were recorded live with his longtime friends and YES! collaborators, Raining Jane, at The Om Studio at Mraz Organics’ Avocado Ranch.

Pre-orders of YES! include a download of a new track every Monday. Mraz says the album features songs “about love, friendship, healing, hope and consciousness.” This week Mraz posted the video for the tune “3 Things.”
