Guess who's looking a lot older and more strung out than last time anyone saw him? Good ol' Jason Mraz. You'd think that someone who has "the remedy" would easily be able to keep himself from looking like an aging schlub of a musician. Au contraire, mon frère. Simply observe -- he looks something like a cross between Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Concords and smooth jazz legend Kenny G.
Remember when Jason was on the rise and nobody could figure out how to pronounce his last name? These days, nobody can even recognize his face. Which isn't too big of a deal -- he's got a big enough name to land a gig at US Airways Center, where he'll be bringing his folk-pop to town this summer.
Jason Mraz, Pennywise, Jeff the Brotherhood, and other artists will be pleasing the locals with new music in the coming months.
