William Shakespeare

Pericles is a journey. At the beginning, there’s an old man with
a story to tell, and a young man with a riddle to solve. Fourteen years
later, after shipwrecks and resurrections, palaces and brothels, marriagebeds
and murders, the story is finally told; the journey has been made –
and the riddle is answered in a blaze of light.

Jasonmraz is a southern california wanna-be born in virginia to a brief
stint in new york studying the ancient art of musical theatre. Jason began
playing guitar late in life, 18, at strawberry fields and on the streets
of manhattan. During that period of experimentation and transformation,
jason was inspired by a psychic in central park to dream the way he does
today. The lesson offered to him was "to avoid the questioner and
go with what you know get experience youth, he said" and following
this new rule as well as his instincts to sing he eventually made his
way out west where he has spent the last two years in san diego learning
from the best about sleep, peace, and poetry in song.Jason has always
had a vision to see how songs could be interpreted if left only to the
listener to decide.
