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."

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.

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.

To exchange your bottle(s) with EcoUsable please print the Return Form and Label and send to: Ecousable Inc. 500 S. Sepulveda Blvd. #106, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. Return Form and Label will be available on jackjohnonsmusic.com.

Replacement bottles will be shipped to you free of charge in the US only from EcoUsable during the month of November.

Bottles collected by EcoUsable will be "upcycled" or converted into something usable.

Please direct questions regarding the EcoUsable bottle trade to bottleexchange@ecousable.com.

The Film: In the summer of 2008 Jack Johnson took a trip through Europe, playing everywhere from historical venues to classic outdoor stages making it the biggest tour of his career. The film is a collection of live performances with Jack's quartet, Adam Topol, Merlo Podlewski and Zach Gill, along with special appearances by G. Love, Ben Harper, Mason Jennings, Neil Halstead and Matt Costa. Through weathering the stormy nights in Newquay to surfing on a river in Germany, to playing the packed house in London's Hyde Park, the film takes you on a trip and captures the connection between an audience and an artist on an international stage.

"...Jack really does not like to be on the other side of the lens. Getting a shot of him is kind of similar to getting a shot of the Loch Ness Monster; it's a rare occurrence. Surprisingly, he let our cameras join him on this tour. I just knew that I better keep a guitar or surfboard in his hands, because with either of those weapons he seemed to never know we were there." to read more from Jack's good friend and the filmmaker, Emmett Malloy click here.



The Album: The 2008 world tour had a ton of special moments, and this CD represents some of the finest. From sharing the stage at Bonnaroo with Eddie Vedder, to leading a massive singalong at Bercy in Paris, to wowing a festival crowd at Outside Lands, to stepping onto the stage alone to close the show at Red Rocks. Longtime crowd favorites from Jack's catalog are interwoven with passages from some of Jack's own favorite songs.
