Song: Did I Fool Ya? Artist: Jason Mraz Album: Live at Java Joes (Download!!!) Who Is Jason Mraz: Jason Mraz is a 31 year old (who can get it) vocalist who specializes in an alternative mix of folk music and rock. He's from Mechanicsville, Virginia and he proudly claims his redneck status. At most of his performaces you can find him sans shoes, I like to compare him to Dave Matthews Band in a sense that he's just so original and the music is so universal, although he doesn't quite have that kind of exposure...yet. His following is quite astounding, consisting of teenaged beach bums to residents of Laura Spelman. (shoutout to the roomie)
Why You Should Love Him: Besides perfecting the genre of "stay in bed music" Jason Mraz is the real deal, his voice is so pure and beautiful and he sometimes dabbles in a bit of comic rap which is suprisingly funny. Most of his lyrics don't make sense until the 10th time you hear them, but there is actually a cohesive thought throughout all of his songs. I actually prefer to listen to his live recordings than his studio albums and it seems he also prefers it too. Jason and his management fully support the bootleging of all his live performances which is great for his reputation, because:
1. People love free shit,
2. It establishes his credibility as an artist when you hear how great he sounds with just a mic and no auto tuner.
Extra Bonuses: His percussionist, Toca is the truth. Talk about a beast on some congo drums and his harmonies, LEGIT!. The fun part about his shows is that they have full dialouge on the stage full of jokes and illegal references.
