Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:59:48 -0700

Jack Johnson to play 2 nights in Hawaii in support of his new release Hawaii Theatre Shows to Benefit the Kokua Hawaii Foundation In celebration of his En Concert live DVD and CD release, Kokua Hawaii Foundation co-founder, Jack Johnson, will screen the documentary film, and play acoustic performances on two nights, November 13th and 14th, alongside band member and solo artist, Zach Gill, at the legendary Hawaii Theatre in downtown Honolulu. These two Hawaii Theatre shows will be Johnson’s only live performances in 2009 since the finale of his Sleep Through The Static world tour last fall. All proceeds from these shows will benefit the Kokua Hawaii Foundation. In addition, all profits from the 2008 tour and the En Concert releases will also fund the Kokua Hawaii Foundation and the Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation to further support environmental, art, and music education around the world. En Concert, a Brushfire Records release available as a Deluxe Pack (CD & DVD) and on Blue Ray or Vinyl, chronicles the special visual and musical moments from Jack Johnson’s 2008 Sleep Through The Static world tour. The En Concert film, directed by Emmett Malloy, whom Johnson collaborated with to create the award winning surf films, “Thicker Than Water” and “September Sessions”, follows Johnson during the European leg of his tour capturing behind the scenes adventures and on-stage magic. “This film feels like a continuation of our surf films,” says Johnson, “but instead of holding a camera they let me have a guitar this time.” Rolling Stone said, “En Concert captures the rocker in his element.” Show Information:Hawaii TheatreFriday, November 13th & Saturday, November 14thDoors 7pm, Film 8pm, with a full acoustic set to follow.

Jack Surprises Santa Barbara!

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:59:12 -0700

photo by Chris Orwig The World premier of Jack’s new film En Concert went down this past Saturday at The Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara, California. Jack surprised everyone by making a last minute appearance. The evening included the world premerie of the new film, an exclusive raffle, a Q&A with the director Emmett Malloy and Jack closed out the night with a short acoustic set. It’s been over a year since the Sleep Through the Static tour finished up so there was a little bit of rust, a few “once in a lifetime” versions, some requested rarities from the audience and even an attempt to play a new song for the first time. Looks like we’ll have to wait until the next tour to hear that one. All in all Jack, Emmett and the whole Santa Barbara hometown crowd had a great night. And perhaps, most importantly to some, Jack was sporting a new look. Click here to see the article written by the Santa Barbara Independent’s Matt Kettman.

Jack Johnson Music Teams Up With EcoUsable for SIGG Bottle Trade News recently came out that SIGG bottles manufactured prior to August 2008 contained BPA in their liner. SIGG bottles manufactured since August 2008 contain SIGG’s new EcoCare liner - independently tested to be free of BPA, BADGE, phthalates and other harmful chemicals. While BPA is present in the old bottle liner, test results down to 2ppb sensitivity show no leaching. Contrary to rumors, this is not a recall, because the bottles are not unsafe, but voluntary exchange programs are being offered by SIGG and other retailers like ReusableBags.com and Whole Foods. Click here for more info on their exchange programs. The 2008 Rise Above Plastic - Sleep Through the Static Tour bottle produced by SIGG does contain the old liner. As a result, Jack Johnson Music has partnered with reusable bottle company, EcoUsable, to trade SIGG bottles for new EcoUsable stainless steel bottles. EcoUsable invents, produces and markets reusable water bottle products with the mission of helping the environment and people’s health, affordably. Beginning October 1 through November 15, 2009 EcoUsable will be offering a trade of any SIGG bottles manufactured prior to August 2008 for new EcoUsable bottles. Receive one (1) Stainless Steel EcoUsable bottle in exchange for any SIGG bottle traded to EcoUsable. There is no limit to how many bottles you can exchange. Got a Jack Johnson Sleep Through the Static branded bottle? Trade your Jack Johnson Sleep Through the Static branded SIGG bottle and receive a new EcoUsable bottle with a, fresh off the press, Jack Johnson:En Concert sticker that you can apply to it.
