2x Grammy-award winning artist and Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee, Jason Mraz, will be performing at the iconic Capitol Theatre on Friday, May 29. Before his show in Port Chester, he partnered with The Capitol Theatre’s street team to support their event at D.I.G. Farm on April 18.
Known as The Cap Cares, the volunteer street team works with the local Westchester community to support non profit organizations.

D.I.G. Farm Day for Jason Mraz Fans focused on bringing people together to make a difference — because “I’m Yours” isn’t just a lyric, it’s a way of showing up for each other. Volunteers spent a hands-on morning prepping garden beds, planting seeds, spreading mulch, turning compost, and more. Mraz sponsored the event and donated t-shirts, other freebies and more. Attendees were eligible to receive tickets for his 5/29 show at The Capitol Theatre.
ABOUT THE JASON MRAZ
Jason Mraz is a two-time GRAMMY® Award winning singer/songwriter and Songwriters Hall of Fame Honoree, most famously known by his hits, “I’m Yours” and “I Won’t Give Up.” His nonprofit, the Jason Mraz Foundation, supports programs focused on inclusive arts education and the advancement of equality. In 2023, Mraz released his eighth studio album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride (featuring the single “I Feel Like Dancing”) and placed second on Season 32 of “Dancing With The Stars,” which aired live on ABC and remains streaming on Disney+. Mraz previously performed the role of Dr. Pomatter in the hit Broadway musical Waitress.
Throughout Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, Mraz’s latest release, there are hints of his formative releases, including his 2002 debut Waiting For My Rocket to Come and 2005’s Mr. A-Z, but it ultimately finds a kinship with 2008’s We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. The newer songs, which are unabashedly pop, saw Mraz reuniting with numerous collaborators, including L.A. band Raining Jane and producer Martin Terefe, who helmed the 2008 breakout album. The songs grapple with the emotions and experiences that come with being in your mid-life, a time that is often ignored by pop songwriters. Its optimistic, inspiring sensibility reflects the musician’s overall approach.
ABOUT THE CAPITOL THEATRE
Designed by celebrated architect Thomas Lamb in 1926 and listed in The National Register of Historic Places, The Capitol Theatre is located 30 miles from NYC, accessible via I-95 and the Port Chester Metro-North train station. The 2,000-capacity theater, known as “the original rock palace,” showcased legends such as Traffic, the Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry, David Bowie, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones. Jerry Garcia called it one of his two favorite venues in the USA. In 2012, The Capitol Theatre underwent a major renovation under the guidance of music entrepreneur Peter Shapiro. Since then, it has hosted major performers including Bob Dylan, Phil Lesh, Ringo Starr, Joan Baez, Skrillex, Bonnie Raitt, Snoop Dogg, Kacey Musgraves, The Strokes, Tom Petty, Cyndi Lauper, and Willie Nelson, as well as comedians like Kevin Hart and Amy Schumer. The New York Times raves: “A rock theater that looks and sounds as good as The Capitol is something to celebrate.” The Capitol Theatre also hosts private and corporate events from benefit concerts, film shoots and Bar Mitzvahs to one of a kind weddings and celebrations.
