Jason Mraz at Ball State

 

Jason Mraz and Raining Jane performing at Emens Auditorium at Ball State University

Last night my roommate James and I went to see Jason Mraz at Emens Auditorium here at BSU. The energy at this concert is so different than what I am used too. The vibe was very chill and relaxing, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised since it was advertised as an acoustic evening with Jason Mraz. At a random point during the show a huge section to my left actually sat down and just enjoyed the music.

Raining Jane, a rock folk group, opened the show and also performed with him during his set. Mraz explained to the audience that he and Raining Jane having been working together and creating music the past couple of years. Also that their show here at BSU, was their first time performing together on stage.

They are all extremely talented and they played a variety of instruments on stage. I lost count on how many times Mraz switched guitars. Another thing that stood out to me is that Jason Mraz is so hilarious. Between songs, while he was having a conversation with the audience and Raining Jane he was cracking jokes and saying things that had everyone laughing.

He closed the show with his smash hit "I'm Yours" which you could see part of it below in the video I recorded.
