The fans on the north side of the Chicago will not only get to see the Dave Matthews Band at Wrigley Field for two shows, but will be able to enjoy the musical stylings of one Jason Mraz. Mraz and Matthews have a long history together that dates back to before Mraz released his first album, Waiting for My Rocket To Come. Outside of Dave Matthews show, Mraz and his longtime percussionist Toca Riveria set up a make-shift stage and performed for DMB fans. Dave actually came out to join the pair on stage a friendship was struck up. Dave was so impressed with Mraz’s songwriting and vocal ability that he invited him to be his opening act for a number of his tour dates. Mraz’s single “The Remedy” eventually blew up and Mraz gained fame from around the world. The scat heavy vocalist real hit it big when he released “I’m Yours” in 2008. “I’m Yours” has become a quintessential summer song, and I’m sure Jason will get a nice sing-a-long going at Wrigley. The 33-year-old songwriter’s fourth album is expected to be out later this year.
