So, I haven't really been to that many concerts. I don't know why, just don't. I know we went to the George Strait Music Festival when we were in High School -- loved that. We saw John Mayer right after college - before he was big (at Numbers...and for those of you who know Houston - you know no one big plays at Numbers!) and he was awesome of course (except for the facial expressions he makes, which, basically looks like he is making out with the microphone) and last night we saw Jason Mraz.
It was AWESOME. My friend LM got us tickets as part of my birthday present and we went. First, I loved that it started early (7:30 to be exact! - best part - home by 11:30. yes, I know I am getting old!)
Second, I loved that it was in a small venue and he could totally "play" with the crowd. which he did - all night long.
Third, I loved that he had a trombone, trumpet and saxophone player. They were awesome and totally added a whole other "level" to the music. Helped too that the saxophone player was cute with this great smile and dimples!
Fourth, Jason has the BEST voice and could pretty much sing anything. He was absolutely fabulous. My favorite part was when the hottie saxophone player had a "sing off" (think - dance off) with Jason. He would play something, then Jason would basically sing the tune back to him (and lets just say the hottie saxophone player didn't hold back and was belting it out -- something most people wouldn't be able to "hum" back). I can't describe it in perfect words, except that he has true talent and is probably the best vocalist I have ever heard. not that I have a trained ear or anything, but if you have ever heard him live, you would probably agree! I only wish I had felt better so I could have danced around and acted silly. But since my head felt like it was being squashed in a panini maker, I wasn't totallly up for all of it. But checking out the saxophone player and listening to the Jason made the evening so much better. What a great way to round out two CRAPPY weeks! Thanks LM for my birthday present! LOVED IT!
PS - some songs that he sang that I loved....Life is Wonderful, Live High, details in the Fabric, Lucky, Make it Mine, If it kills me - most all from we sing. we dance. we steal things.

I've heard he puts on a good show - and you still need to check out Ray LaMontagne...that's who we saw the other night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Try the album Trouble first. I think it's my fave. Happy 31st girlie, I'm right behind you!
