Jason Mraz trek serves up 'Gratitude' for fans

Jason Mraz has mapped dates for a summer tour as he continues to back his latest studio album, last year's platinum-selling "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things."

The singer/songwriter kicks off the outing, dubbed the "Gratitude Cafe Tour," July 25 in Columbia, MD, one night after appearing with the Dave Matthews Band in Hershey, PA. G. Love & Special Sauce will serve as Mraz's special guests on the trek, which runs through the end of August. Mraz will cap things off with another DMB connection, this time on Aug. 30 in Fresno, CA. Dates are below.

Mraz continues to support his third studio album, "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things," which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 after surfacing in May last year. The lead single, "I'm Yours," peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The album--Mraz's first set of all-new material since 2005's "Mr. A-Z"--was produced by Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall, Ron Sexsmith), and includes collaborations with British tunesmith James Morrison and singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat. Several songs from the record are streaming at Mraz's MySpace page.

In November, Mraz released a limited-edition version of "We Sing," a 3-disc set that includes the original album on CD, a second CD containing three promotional EPs that were available only for a brief time following the album's release, and a DVD including a live show recorded at the Highline Ballroom in New York City, along with a 20-page CD booklet featuring song lyrics and new artwork.
