Jack Johnson to play 2 nights in Hawaii in support of his new release
Hawaii Theatre Shows to Benefit the Kokua Hawaii FoundationIn 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."
