Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Everyone’s favorite I’m Yours! singer just announced his fall North American Tour. Jason Mraz tickets go on sale beginning Friday, July 23.

His tour is sure to be a nice mix of your favorites and even some new tunes. Just this week on Twitter, Mraz said: Working on the new album: Uptempo trax sound like a mix between Wham and Prince. Perchance I’ll dub the new genre “Wince!”

Mraz will hit 20 different cities with performances at multiple festivals. The tour kicks off September 11 in Bangor, ME and wraps up October 8 in Santa Barbara.

In addition to his headlining spots, Mraz will also open for Dave Matthews Band’s Chicago shows. Dave Matthews tickets with Jason Mraz went on sale earlier this month.

Jason Mraz’s first album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, was released in 2002. While it was considered a success, it was nothing like what was ahead for the singer. In 2008 he released his 3rd album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., featuring the hit “I’m Yours.” The song reached #6 in the Billboard Hot 100 and drove strong sales for the album. It was also nominated for Song of the Year at the Grammys.
