Jason Mraz Conjures Up Unique Spring Itinerary; the "Music, Magic & Make Peace Tour" Set for April; Multi-Faceted Bill

NEW YORK, NY, Mar 13 (MARKET WIRE) --
Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz has announced details of his upcoming
North American tour. The dates herald the San Diego-based troubadour's
much-anticipated new album, "WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS." which will
be released on May 20th.

The "Music, Magic & Make Peace Tour" will hit the road on April 4th at The
Catalyst in Santa Cruz, California, with dates continuing throughout the
month (see below itinerary). The unique multi-artist bill sees Mraz
accompanied by a widely varied group of like-minded performers, including
magician
Justin Kredible, freestyle acoustic rapper Bushwalla, and world music-inspired
folk quartet, the Makepeace Brothers.

"The concept began among the musicians in the communities of San Francisco
and San
Diego," Mraz explains. "I look forward to it being a great experience for the
audience and performers alike. It will feature a variety of talent not
unlike the vaudeville format where different musical genres, magic, poetry, and
educational themes will come together in one night."

Pre-sale tickets for a number of shows -- including stops in San
Francisco,West Hollywood, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Atlanta, and New York --
will
beavailable for members of Jason's online and mobile fan club on March 18th. All
remaining dates are on sale now.

The "Music, Magic & Make Peace Tour" is presented in association with
Reverb,
a non-profit organization designed to educate and engage music fans to promote
environmental sustainability. Reverb works closely with artists to create
earth-friendly events and tours. "Working with Reverb has always been a dream
of mine," says Mraz. "I am very happy to be doing my part to make less of a
mess while we roll through each city on this tour."

Among the organization's environmental efforts are the use of B20
Biodiesel(20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel) in all tour buses and trucks;
neutralizing
CO2 emissions from venue energy use, hotels, flights, touring vehicles, and fan
travel by supporting the construction of new renewable energy projects such as
wind
farms that reduce energy demands from carbon-emitting power sources such as
coal-fired power plants; reducing and recycling plastic, aluminum, paper, and
cardboard waste backstage; using sustainable supplies and goods such as
biodegradable and reusable catering products and local, organically produced
food;
and offering eco-friendly organic cotton merchandise for fans.

Mraz's first set of all-new material in nearly three years "WE SING. WE
DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS." was produced by Martin Terefe, known for his work
with KT Tunstall, Ron Sexsmith, and James Morrison. The album sees Mraz
continuing to tread his own distinctive artistic path, melding a
variegatedmusical tapestry with passionate, personal lyricism. Among the
highlights are
collaborations with British tunesmith James Morrison and singer/songwriter
Colbie Caillat.

"I'm Yours," the album's first single, was chosen due to the undeniable
fanresponse to the song. A demo version of "I'm Yours" originally appeared
ona limited release bonus EP Mraz put out with his last album. Today the song
is an online sensation, with hundreds of user-generated videos from more than
25 different countries now appearing on YouTube.

Always an active online presence, Mraz has kept his loyal fanbase abreast of
his
recent activities via a series of video blogs, dubbed "Crazy Man's Ju-Ju." The
clips -- along with a variety of other travel adventures, live performances,
and studio sessions -- can be accessed at "Jason Mraz TV," the Official Jason
Mraz YouTube channel, located at www.youtube.com/user/OfficialJasonMraz.

"WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS." will be preceded by a trio of
individual EPs: "WE SING," due March 18th; "WE DANCE," out April 15th;
and"WE STEAL THINGS," which will be available as a digital bundle with purchase
of the album on iTunes, and as part of a bundle when purchased via
JasonMraz.com or AtlanticRecords.com. The EPs will feature unique
versionsof various album tracks recorded during special intimate sessions.

A compelling and inventive live performer, Jason is now in the midst of a
multi-continent international tour. Having already visited Europe -- recent
highlights include performances at iTunes Live: London Sessions in the UK
and the Uken Festival in Bergen, Norway -- Mraz is currently winding his way
through Australia and Asia, culminating in a major concert appearance in Seoul,
Korea on March 28th.

"WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS." follows Mraz's two previous studio
releases: 2002's RIAA platinum-certified breakthrough, "WAITING FOR MY
ROCKET TO COME," and 2005's "MR. A-Z," which debuted at #5 on the
Billboard200, with career-best first week sales exceeding 80,000. Mraz has also
