Jason Mraz to Bring World Tour to Segerstrom Center, 3/15

Segerstrom Center for the Arts presents Atlantic Records recording artist Jason Mraz as part of his Yes! intimate world tour. The concert in Segerstrom Hall celebrates the multiple-Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter's acclaimed new album of the same title.

Tickets to Jason Mraz's Yes! tour start at $29 and will go on sale Thursday, February 5 at 10 a.m. PST. Single tickets will be available online at SCFTA.org, at the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. The TTY number is (714) 556-2746.

In 2014, Mraz made a conscious choice to perform in venues smaller than the usual amphitheaters/arenas with several multi-day residencies, including an all-borough, six-show stint in New York City. He has selected a number of historic theaters and concert halls such as London's Royal Albert Hall, Paris' Casino de Paris, Amsterdam's Royal Theatre Carre?, Frankfurt's Alte Oper and Hamburg's Laeiszhalle.

The album Yes! marks what is perhaps the most unexpected and accomplished collection of the San Diego- based troubadour's extraordinary career. Yes!, which debuted at #2 on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 upon its release last July, debuted at #1 on the sales charts in 46 territories around the world. It also garnered some of the finest notices of Mraz's acclaimed career. "(Mraz's) fifth LP is his most serenely psyched yet," applauded Rolling Stone, while The Boston Globe noted, "The sweet-voiced troubadour (sounds) reenergized, with his collaborators (and producer/Bright Eyes member Mike Mogis) rounding out his sound with bits of cello and ukulele ... Mraz's easy charm has, over the course of his decade-plus in the spotlight, aged well." "Yes! boasts gems to soundtrack a late summer night, a beach bonfire, a long drive or a relaxing night at home," raved Billboard, ultimately declaring the album as "an invigorating change-up record that shines in an already impressive discography."

Mraz and collaborator Raining Jane heralded Yes! with high profile TV appearances, including Fox's American Idol, NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and NBC's TODAY Toyota Concert Series, broadcast live from New York's Rockefeller Center. In addition, Mraz's episode of Inside the Artists Den, shot last June at UCLA's Royce Hall, proved one of the Emmy-nominated series' most popular installments.

Furthermore, Yes! was preceded by the short film, We Can Take the Long Way, streaming now at Mraz's official YouTube channel. Directed by Jeff Nicholas and Jonathan Craven and produced by The Uprising Creative (Justin Timberlake, Rihanna), We Can Take the Long Way features three songs from Yes!, including "Love Someone," "Hello, You Beautiful Thing" and "Long Drive." As ever, a range of official videos, session performances and behind-the-scenes exclusives can be viewed now at www.youtube.com/OfficialJasonMraz.

One of the world's hardest working and most beloved artists, Jason Mraz's journey has propelled him from the San Diego coffee house scene to arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums all over the world. A two-time Grammy Award winner and six-time nominee, Mraz made pop history with his record-breaking classic single, "I'm Yours," while also earning platinum and multi-platinum certifications in more than 20 countries. Moreover, the San Diego-based troubadour has proven a truly diverse creative presence. A dedicated surfer, farmer/gardener, filmmaker and photographer, Mraz is first and foremost a committed global citizen. His impassioned social activism and philanthropic efforts span wide-ranging environmental advocacy and ardent support for LGBT equality. Through it all, Mraz continually confirms and celebrates music's myriad forms and miraculous power, inspiring and delighting his countless fans around the world he calls home.
