Marit Larsen updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Sunday (March 29) following Friday night’s performance at Haus Auensee in Leipzig, Germany, opening for Jason Mraz. The former M2M star writes:
Had a great time in Leipzig too! We had wonderful sound on stage and the audience was loud and welcoming… Sold a lot of records too! I feel like every person who decides to buy my album is my friend. Hehe. Some are super special friends and buy both. Thank you! Completely forgot to take pictures.
Marit Larsen checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Saturday (March 28) from the latest stop on her tour with Jason Mraz – Luxembourg. The former M2M singer writes:
Yesterday we decided to brave the rough Luxembourg weather (it wouldn’t stop raining!) and walk to a public indoor pool. We all swam for a long while, listening to continuous mentions of Jason’s name on the radio, and afterwards we spent time in the boiling sauna. I felt like a new human being. My body is starting to tell me it’s not loving sleeping on the bus as much as I am. Hehe.

Marit Larsen checked in with fans after performing with Jason Mraz at Joy Eslava in Madrid, Spain on March 21st. The former M2M star writes on her blog at MySpace:
Still having fun. Thanks, everyone, for your open minds and open arms.
Madrid is a beautiful city! I had Pata Negra, my favorite ham (we have taken to having meat parties in the bus). I also finally found the Converse All Stars of my dreams: Bright green. Kaja and I enjoyed chocolate and mint flavored ice cream in the sun.
Marit Larsen updated fans after opening for Jason Mraz at Campo Pequeno in Lisbon, Portugal in a blog posting at her MySpace on Friday (March 20). The former M2M star writes:
On my list of 100 wild things to do before I die I can now check “playing my songs acoustically in front of 5500 people”. Last night was so absurd – as the venue was so huge, the sound was bouncing off the walls and causing a total blur onstage. When the audience started clapping and screaming, I heard no music whatsoever! Luckily we saw the absurdity of it all, braced ourselves and had a good laugh onstage. It was sort of crazy. Judging by all the friend requests I received this morning, though – (thanks, everyone!), I’m assuming you heard us afterall, which is a relief! Haha! And singing “Lucky” along with the gigantic mass of people was pretty huge.
Marit Larsen checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (March 19), talking about Toulouse, France, the latest stop on her tour with Jason Mraz. The former M2M singer writes:
What a beautiful place! Went for a lovely walk in the sun along the river running beside the venue and ate absolutely perfect confit de canard for dinner. Debuted my new pink dress. The past five shows I’ve been invited on stage with Jason to sing the song “Lucky” from his last album. It’s a blast, the audience knows every word of it.
Jason Mraz performed ‘Lucky’ with Marit Larsen filling the role of Colbie Caillat during a show at Olympia in Paris, France on Saturday (March 14). Watch footage from the performance via YouTube below.
Marit Larsen checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace after performing at Maimarktclub in Mannheim, Germany on Friday (March 13), opening for Jason Mraz. The former M2M star tells readers:
Yesterday we met the largest crowd so far on this tour. There must have been over 2500 people… Made me feel like a warrior up there with our little acoustic setup! Learning new tricks all the time about life on a tour bus, like the art of getting enough rest. The first thing that happens when I lose sleep, is I lose my voice. Got a little hoarse toward the end of our set last night, so I went straight to bed and slept an amazing 11 hours… Guess I needed it!
Marit Larsen checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (March 6), talking about how busy she’s been lately and plans to open for Jason Mraz on tour next week. The former M2M star writes:
On Tuesday I’m heading to Rome for the first date of the Jason Mraz tour. I have a great feeling about this! I’m bringing along three lovely musicians. With guitars, piano, cello and loads and loads of harmonies, we’ll be presenting my songs to what’s starting to look like huge amounts of people. I’ve been watching Mr. Mraz’ MySpace site and it looks like he’s melting hearts and selling out venues all over the world. This is all so exciting.

Marit Larsen updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (December 22). The former M2M star tells readers:
Wonderful news! I am pleased to announce that I have been invited to support Jason Mraz on his upcoming tour of Europe. Starting in Rome, I will be bringing along a couple of my favorite musicians and a few of my favorite instruments and set out on a quest (I love the word quest) to hopefully find myself a few new listeners. Jason and I met briefly during the Nobel Peace Prize Concert a couple of weeks ago and I am truly honored he wants to give me this opportunity (which, according to my beloved dictionary, means: a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something. Nicely put!).
As for now I am finally feeling the calm of Christmas taking over. I’ve finished all of my shopping and wrapping. I don’t intend to think of anything but reading and hanging out with my family for a couple of weeks. Of course (and thankfully), new songs tend to jump into my head and out of my mouth from time to time these days, so I am sort of working a little, I suppose. To me, this is probably the best (and sometimes the worst) part of being a songwriter.
See what happens when I get enough sleep? I write more. I shall now disappear back into my book right after I wish you all happy and joyful holidays.
Sincerely, Marit.
