Unheard Songs on Jason Mraz Cafe Gratitude Tour
(Photo courtesy of my sister)Two Fridays ago I caught Jason Mraz and his friend Bushwalla playing a show in my city. There were some songs played I haven't heard before and I did a little hunting on the internet for more information on them. To my surprise I found out that they both keep an open policy on concert recordings and found a whole bunch of live recordings of their shows on the Internet Archive, not only for shows during the Cafe Gratitude tour, but even earlier on in their careers. If anyone is looking for some of the songs Bushwalla performed during his set, I found a pretty good recording of only his stuff here when he played in California:

For all platforms, VLC plays em like a champ, but I'd recommend foobar for Windows users.
