It was a little over a month ago that Jack Johnson graced Australia with his presence as part of the Byron Bay Bluesfest, and now he’s announced another visit in December. I guess he wasn’t too keen to head down under during the winter months.
With a new album under his belt, titled To The Sea and a back catalogue of hits spanning his multi-platinum selling albums, Jack will be bringing in tow his ever faithful travelling companions, long time band members Adam Topol (drums), Merlo Podlewski (bass) and Zach Gill (keys).
To The Sea features guest appearances from long time collaborator and friend G. Love, and Paula Fuga. The first taster from the record comes in the shape of single and first track entitled ‘You And Your Heart’ – a “beautiful, melodic slice of acoustic bliss, that is indicative of – and perfectly introduces – To The Sea, to Jack’s ever faithful, and ever growing audience.”
In a continuing effort to acknowledge and support environmental work the tour will collaborate with hand-chosen community groups in Australia and around the world as part of Johnson’s All At Once Community. This year’s All At Once campaign will focus on supporting non-profit groups and engaging fans in the realms of Sustainable Local Food Systems and Plastic Free Initiatives. As in 2008, Jack Johnson will donate 100% of his tour profits to charity and tour proceeds will go to these groups to support their projects.
