On this episode of WNY Soundstage, Host Daniel Lendzian speaks with Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz is a singer-songwriter known for his upbeat, folk-pop sound and lyrical wordplay. He gained widespread recognition with his hit single “I’m Yours” which showcased his distinctive voice and laid-back style. Over his career, Mraz has received numerous awards and continues to inspire fans with his positive, feel-good music. His most recent album Magical Mystical Radical Rhythmical Ride is a return to pop music, and inspired his participation in Dancing with the Stars, where he came in second place.
The goal is to try to just take people on a transformational journey from their head into their heart over 90 minutes. I like to think of it as a yoga class. You might be uncomfortable at first, but we’re going to breathe. We’re going to get through it. We’re going to sing. We’re going to move our body slowly and by the end of the night you just can’t wait to just let it all go. And then take it onward into your life. The rest of your life. Into the next day and into the weekend and into, you know, the rest of the year. To remember to just enjoy the ride and be as expressive as you can or as you want to be.
He will be performing at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario on July 13 at 7:30 PM. Tickets and more information are available at jasonmraz.com.
