POP/ROCK: Jason Mraz (8/2)

By Todd Rezsnyak on July 29, 2009

Jason Mraz blasted on the pop scene with "The Remedy" several years ago, and recently released the uber-popular, lazy-day feeling "I'm Yours." A very natural, up-tempo singer-songwriter, Mraz has a laid-back, feel-good vibe to his music, one that has allowed him to carve out a niche for himself on pop radio, standing out from the newest teen pop idols and overproduced vocalists. Opening act G. Love & Special Sauce has been a presence on the music scene for almost 20 years; though perhaps not as well known on the radio, G. Love has nonetheless been a critical darling for most of his tenure due to his playful and relaxed pop/R&B stylings.

Jason Mraz performs Sunday, August 2, 7 p.m. at CMAC, 4355 Lakeshore Dr, Canandaigua. $25-$45. 232-1900.
