Following the release of his highly anticipated new album “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” Jason Mraz will continue his love affair with Australia with a run of headlines shows this August.

Starting the tour in Perth at the Fly By Night on Wednesday 6th August, Mraz and his merry men will then travel to Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Saturday 9th August, the Forum in Melbourne on Tuesday 12th August and finish up at the Tivoli in Brisbane on Thursday 14th August. Tickets for all shows go on sale on Friday 30th May through the usual outlets.

On his previous tours, Mraz has become accustomed to spreading out on stage with his percussionist Toca Rivera, occasionally with bass player Ian Sheridan and for the first time on his last tour, drummer Mike “Leroy” Bram. This time all of his band mates will join him as well as a three-piece horn section, for the biggest show Mraz has ever brought to Australia.

The songsmith won over new fans across this big brown land in March of this year when he took the stage at the Blues Festivals in Perth, Victoria and Byron Bay. With overwhelming crowds and unprecedented queues at the festivals signing tents, Mraz couldn’t wait to come back for more. And with sell out shows in Sydney and Melbourne on his last visit, fans are encouraged to be quick on this one so not to miss out.

On “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” his third studio release, Mraz teamed up with renowned producer Martin Terefe, known for his work with KT Tunstall, Ron Sexsmith, and James Morrison. The album sees Mraz continuing to tread his own distinctive artistic path, melding a variegated musical tapestry with passionate, personal lyricism. Among the highlights are collaborations with British tunesmith James Morrison and singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat.
