A GREAT PERFORMER: JASON MRAZ


What makes a performer a GREAT performer? And what makes a great performer a great entertainer? It’s hard to describe exactly what constitutes a great performer or entertainer but I believe it comes down to three essential parts of each live performance. The three parts are Musical ability, musical performance and stage presence. Someone that constantly nails all three parts and is one of my favorite entertainers is Jason Mraz.

He first caught the eye of the public with his song “The Remedy” off his album “Waiting For My Rocket to Come”. Since then, he has written other hits such as Wordplay, Lucky, I Won’t Give Up and many more. He’s created a great POSITIVE image for himself through interviews, live shows and just being himself, which means not getting involved in any celebrity crap drama. His songs and recordings are all catchy and speak to his audience in a different way. The most important thing though is not that he can sound amazing on a recording but that he can sound even BETTER during his live performances. Lets break down why exactly Mraz is such a phenomenal performer.

It all starts with good songs. Jason is a great songwriter and has a lot of top hits, many of which are really fun songs for a live show. His musical ability is incredible. He has one of the best voices of our generation and he plays guitar very well WHILE he is singing. He has years and years of practice under his belt and he still constantly practices, making his live performance incredibly tight and flawless. The last important piece to the performer puzzle is stage presence. Mraz has a way of captivating his audience and creating a bond during each show. He is smooth and well prepared with what he says and his physical movement on stage shows his confidence and friendliness, two things that the audience clings to.




So with his great musical ability, great musical performances and great stage presence, Jason Mraz easily secures the top spot on my list of favorite performers. I’ll have to let you all know how the show on August 22nd in Nashville goes, there will be pictures and videos. You can still get tickets to see how incredible his shows are!
