Jason Mraz to embark on fall tour, publish book

Jason Mraz sings, dances, steals things, cheerleads and tours too. The multi-talented singer/songwriter has announced his plans to play various North American cities this fall in support of his newest album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.

The tour begins in early October in Scranton, Pa. (Perhaps Michael Scott is a fan?) and stretches through the beginning of December. Lisa Hannigan will appear as supporting artist on most of the dates.

On top of releasing an album and lining up a tour, Mraz also plans to release a book of photography.  A Thousand Things, which will be released in October, features 54 photos taken by Mraz himself with a Polaroid camera.
