Jason Mraz

As much as singer-songwriter Jason Mraz's latest album, the decidedly upbeat and spirited Look for the Good, might seem as if it were created to combat the COVID blues, Mraz wrote and recorded the LP prior to the pandemic shutdown. A full-on embrace of traditional reggae music, Look for the Good reflects Mraz’s longtime love of the style of music that Bob Marley and others made popular. The title track commences with a bit of acoustic guitar and Mraz's signature smooth vocals before the reggae beats arrive, recalling the positive vibes of those Ziggy Marley & the Melody Maker tunes from the '80s. With a 13-piece band in tow, Mraz performs at 8 tonight at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica. Check the Live Nation website for ticket prices.
