Jason Mraz made a surprise appearance at a local San Diego benefit concert on Saturday night for the Feeding the Soul Foundation. To celebrate the release of their first CD, Feeding the Soul, Volume 1: Family Dinner, the organization sponsored a concert featuring many local area musicians including Alex Woodard, Bushwalla, Dawn Mitschele, Jessie Payo, Tristan Prettyman, The Makepeace Brothers, MC Flow, Parker Ainsworth and Raining Jane.
Jason Mraz, wearing a suit jacket and his trademark hat, sang his ballad "A Beautiful Mess" accompanied by all-girl group, Raining Jane. Girlfriend and singer/songwriter, Tristan Prettyman, joined Mraz for the duet "All I Want for Christmas Is Us."
Mraz also sang a new song called "High Friend" with local singers, The Natters. (Watch YouTube video to the left) This song is also featured on the Feeding the Soul Vol. 1 CD with performing credits by "Day Old Johnson" (Mraz's alias) & The Natters.
"We created the Feeding the Soul Foundation to bring the community together in creative generosity,” said Vallie Gilley, owner of Jitters Coffee Pub in Oceanside. "We hope to bring the community together through music to make a positive impact.”
The Feeding the Soul Vol. 1: Family Dinner CD contains 13 songs from many of the artists which performed at Saturday's concert. The CD also contains a cook-booklet with family-style recipes compiled by baker, coffee shop owner and Feeding the Soul founder Vallie Gilley.
