Mr. A-Z


Last night we went to see Jason Mraz in concert at the E center. I had never seen him before, but was looking forward to seeing what kind of show he would put on.

After a search for the missing camera (still missing, left it at the recital hall after Carters piano recital) we headed to dinner with mom and dad. It was nice to spend time with them. Eventually we headed over to the E center.

The opening act was BORING! Think Enya, but much more relaxed. YAWN! I always thought the opener was to get the crowd pumped up for the main show. Around 8:40, Mraz took the stage. He was amazing! He was so energetic and charismatic. He had the crowd eating out of his hand within minutes. He played tons of great songs. My only complaint...No "Geek in the Pink"!!!!!! He was able to get the entire audience up and moving towards the middle of the show. It was fun to see him get everyone doing the same hand movements during one song. After 2 encores it was over. Great night.

I can honestly say that Mraz and John Mayer have opened my eyes to a whole new genre...everything except country. Now I'm not saying I'm giving up my boots anytime soon, but it has been fun to listen to new types of music. It's also so different from a headlining country show...no pyro, no big stage entrances. Just great music and fun.
