A recent scoring project of mine, State of Firsts, premiered at Tribeca this June and is screening in Los Angeles this weekend at @outfest - Sunday, Nov. 9th, 2:45pm. Details and tickets at outfest.org.
Thank you to @chasejoynt for inviting me to collaborate once again!
STATE of FIRSTS is an all-access documentary following Sarah McBrideās historic run to become the first transgender member of Congress. Throughout her campaign, she navigates the complex terrain between activist and electoral strategies for change, confronting mounting pressure from her constituents. On the night that Sarah wins, so too does Trump, underscoring a nation intensely divided and sending Sarah to an increasingly hostile new workplace. Immediately after her victory, Sarah becomes the target of MAGA Republicans who ban her from using the restrooms in the Capitol, sparking national outrage and drawing attention to the escalating threats on trans people and trans rights. The film leaves her on the doorstep of her new job, facing high-stakes decisions under the pressure of the national spotlight.

Love is a funny thing. Whenever I give it, it comes back to me. This is the opening lyric from YES!, an album I co-wrote with @chaska_potter , @maibloomfield , @bexgeb , & @mona_tavakoli (@raining_jane ), produced by @mike.mogis & me. Released in 2014, this album of cosmic acoustic love songs has been around the world and come back again, inspiring the recent radical ride. And to celebrate 10 years of YES!, a special Deluxe Edition will be available on October 25 on limited edition 2-LP Gold Vinyl and digital formats.
This expanded 10th anniversary release features brand new cover art (honoring the collaboration of friends who continue to create a mystical, magical kind of music) and five previously unreleased live tracks recorded at The Mranch (including Love Someone, out now wherever you stream or download music). You can pre-order the Gold Vinyl, which also includes an exclusive poster, today at JasonMraz.com.

Shout out to the wonderful @designsbyshoshi for saying yes when I asked for help dialing in my @bigbudpress jumpsuit before going on tour with @jason_mraz this summer!
Shoshiās alterations took it to the next level! They hemmed the arms and legs, added elastic to the waist to give it shape, added fringe to the back, and hand stitch embroidered my initials on the front along with a little collar jazz. I couldnāt be happier with the results and process. Shoshi is a dream to work with - I love wearing this jumpsuit!
Looking forward to joining the superb and superband this summer! Tickets at jasonmraz.com/events
