I tried searching but couldn't find anything... i'm watching that live concert that is posted on popeater.com of jason and band in NYC. I noticed
there is no lead guitar player... is this a permanent thing for all upcoming tour dates? What happened to the guy that joined them after Mr. A-Z's release?
I apologize if this has been discussed, just curious... I kind of miss that part of his live show after watching this video.

as of right now mraz doesn't have a lead guitar player. It used to be marion aqualina and before that bill bell.
this album is more of a stripped down vibe with mraz only playing acoustic guitars, and he translates that into the current live show. I don't believe there is plan for a lead guitarist to come into the mix, but then again who knows what mraz has up his sleeve?

He did most of the European tour without a lead gitarist. I didn't really miss it, to be honest.
I've got Lint!

I like the current set up, Mraz has got a really good sound going on at his shows.
And of course a lot of that is thanks to Grooveline Horns!

personally am fairly critical of whoever comes in to the role of playing a full drum kit. that role is the most crucial to any type of full band setup and sets
the stage for the entire "evolution" of the performance in my opinion. i did not care for either scott or adam at first and still feel that scott
just did not fit jason's style at all. i think michael is a better fit for the current style than adam as well.

I love Leroy too, but whoever he had playing drums on the album BLEW MY MIND! Bring him out on the road!
(and this is coming from a wife of a professional drummer) BTW - Seiver is a strange bird. I never thought his stuff was good for the band - didn't really work for Ari Hest's band either. He liked to incorporate odd n ends, and they never seemed to mesh. I feel like a drummer with too many toys is compensating for lack of technique (in Jason's music at least).
Well... Everyone else is doing it...

funny
