Default Saw Jason Mraz Wednesday night!

Hey everyone

My wife and I went to see Jason Mraz Wednesday and we had a great evening! Well known for being a great live act, he was wonderful with the audience and as the evening went on the whole theatre had a party atmosphere to it...I was amazed at the wide range of audience...there were teenagers, college folks, older adults, even quite a few seniors! (no kidding!) Everyone was singing, clapping, laughing, dancing, have a great time.

I couldn't help but notice that he played all nylon strings guitars on stage that night, and as far as I could tell none of them were Taylors. Anyone know if this is a change in endorsement on his part?

Default Jason Mraz

He's very talented, isn't he?

I wish I had 1/100th of his ability!

Glad to hear someone else enjoys Jason's music.

I've always wanted to see him live. What a talented guy!

I noticed when he performed today on Ellen that he was also using a Nylon string - and it wasn't a Taylor!

Default jason mraz in concert...

i saw him at Radio City Music Hall about 2 weeks ago and he had about 20 guitars side stage, but only played a nylon and one song on an electric solid body.

I thought it interesting as well. I also noticed he kept flexing his fretting hand as if it were cramping.. i heard he just finished a big overseas tour and maybe the wear and tear got to him....

Saw him last...April maybe? Forget when exactly.

It was in Toronto at Kool Haus, took my best friend (who's an obsessive fan) to see him.

She went again on the 15th as well, this time with her boyfriend, so the show you speak of is this same one!

I am fairly certain he was playing a Taylor nylon string when I was there back in April or whatever it was. I recall seeing the headstock quite vividly. Could be wrong, but I think it was a Taylor.
