Jason Mraz Makes History With "I'm Yours"; Blockbuster Single Breaks Record for Longest-Ever Run on Billboard's "Hot

NEW YORK, NY, Aug 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
Jason Mraz has entered the record books with his history-making hit
single, "I'm Yours." Described by the San Diego-based singer/songwriter
as "his happy little hippie song," the track has spent a remarkable 70
weeks on Billboard's "Hot 100," shattering the record previously held by
LeAnn Rimes' 1998 smash, "How Do I Live." "I'm Yours" now ranks as the
longest-running song in the chart's 51-year history.

Certified 4x platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of 4 million, "I'm
Yours" is currently the third best-selling digital single of all time.
Initially released to radio back in February 2008, the Grammy-nominated
track from Jason's RIAA platinum-certified third album, "WE SING. WE
DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.," made history earlier this year as the first
song ever to top the charts at four pop radio formats: CHR/Top 40, Triple
A, Hot AC, and AC (where it held the #1 slot for 16 weeks, the most of
any artist in 2009).

Mraz has also announced the upcoming release of an all-new live CD/DVD,
"JASON MRAZ'S BEAUTIFUL MESS - LIVE FROM EARTH." Due in stores and at all
online retailers on November 10th, the album and DVD were recorded just
last week as Jason's blockbuster "Gratitude Cafe Tour" hit Chicago's
Charter One Pavilion. Full details -- including a complete tracklisting --
will be revealed shortly.

The first leg of the acclaimed "Gratitude Cafe Tour" is set to wrap up
later this month at the Ironstone Amphitheatre in Murphys, California (see
itinerary below). The tour will resume on September 14th at the Nokia
Theatre Prairie in Dallas, Texas, and run through an October 10th sold-out
finale at Hollywood, California's world-famous Hollywood Bowl.

The "Gratitude Cafe Tour" has proven a popular and critical success, with
sold-out shows accompanied by a bevy of rave reviews appearing in
publications across the country. The New York Times waxed rhapsodic about
Jason's recent performance at Wantagh, New York's Nikon @ Jones Beach
Theater, hailing the singer/songwriter as "part Jack Johnson, part Eckhart
Tolle, he is a troubadour of the anodyne -- an emotionally humane John
Mayer, a slicker Paul Simon -- and at times a devilishly effective one."

Mraz is donating a portion of every "Gratitude Cafe Tour" ticket sold to
the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to
restoring instrumental music education programs in America's public
schools, and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of
each child's complete education.

In addition to the "Gratitude Cafe Tour," Mraz has also slated a number of
upcoming festival performances, including sets at San Francisco's Outside
Lands Music & Arts Festival on August 29th; Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival
on September 6th; and Phoenix's Fall Frenzy Festival on September 18th.
What's more, Jason will be appearing alongside Willie Nelson, Neil Young,
and Dave Matthews at the 2009 Farm Aid benefit concert, set for October
4th at St. Louis' Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Following those dates,
Jason will embark on his first South American tour in late November. More
details on that will be announced soon.

On September 29 in Vancouver, BC, Jason will participate in a very special
performance as part of We Day, an initiative of international charity Free
the Children, which celebrates the power of young people to change the
lives of others. Now in its third year, We Day sets the stage for an
exclusive year-long program for students throughout North America to
create global change through Free the Children's Adopt a Village program.
Other speakers/entertainers participating in the event include His
Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mia Farrow.

In other news, Mraz and beach culture brand Hurley have created a
limited-edition collection of environmentally friendly men's and women's
t-shirts. The t-shirts, available now at select Buckle stores and at
www.buckle.com, feature nature-inspired, abstract graphics which were
designed by Mraz and printed with soy ink on 100% organic cotton. A
portion of the proceeds raised will go to the Surfrider Foundation, a
nonprofit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and
enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves, and beaches.

"I am proud to be supporting the Surfrider Foundation, and stoked to be
working with the team at Hurley," says Mraz. "Collaborating to create a
limited edition organic t-shirt has been a fun way of contributing to the
care of our coasts."
