The Multi-Grammy®, Multi-Platinum winning superstar also completed “The Five Boroughs Tour” in September which saw Mraz perform 6 shows in 5 boroughs: Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan, a feat previously only accomplished by two other music artists; David Bowie and NYC’s own Beastie Boys. Mraz announced “The Five Boroughs Tour” at a special press conference held at the world famous Empire State Building earlier this year. During the same week, Mraz also performed at the 10th annual Clinton Global Citizen Awards, (as part of the Clinton Global Initiative) during the UN General Assembly week.

Mraz recently partnered with the incredible Melodic Caring Project, in which one of his shows was live streamed to children that were unable to be there due to a medical condition.
The Melodic Caring Project is a non-profit organization which bridges the gap between music, technology and patients battling serious illness by streaming live personalized concerts to kids and teens in the hospital. Jason dedicated each song to a child at home. The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiagPj-cH1Y&feature=youtu.be
