Jason Mraz and Toca Rivera @ Housing Works – July 27, 2005.
Jason Mraz and Toca Rivera at Housing Works Used Book Cafe.
All proceeds for all performances at this venue benefit Housing Works an advocacy and aid organization for homeless people living with HIV/AIDS.
The venue was so packed and sweaty it should have been group sex…it was my first real exposure to Jason Mraz – he was a cross between the laidbackness of John Mayer/Jack Johnson, the wackiness of early Barenaked Ladies mixed with random innocuous boybandness though most of his fans would probably kill me for saying so…
Another version of the audio here.
Great fansite here.
