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.
