Jack Johnson Saturday, 04 December 2010

Nik Tischler and Michael Coppel, in conjunction with MAX are pleased to announce the 2010 National Australian tour for JACK JOHNSON.

Back to perform in Australia - a place he holds dear to his heart - Jack returns this coming December in support of his forthcoming album “To The Sea”, for what will be a run of hotly anticipated shows including:

A Decade on from his first visit, JACK JOHNSON will be once again on Australian shores with a new album under his belt, and a back catalogue of hits spanning his multi-platinum selling albums "Brushfire Fairytales", "On and On", "In Between Dreams" and “Sleep Through The Static”.

Performing such classics as "Inaudible Melodies", "Sitting Waiting Wishing", "Flake", "Taylor", and "Times Like These”, along side his latest hit “You And Your Heart” Jack brings in tow his ever faithful travelling companions, and will be touring once again with long time band members Adam Tool (drums), Merlo Podlewski (bass) and Zach Gill (keys).
After selling an astonishing 18 million+ copies worldwide, JACK JOHNSON, is set to release his fifth studio album – the aptly titled “To The Sea” - produced by Robert Carranza, and JACK JOHNSON, which also 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 on the album “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.

As with his last world tour in 2008, and in a continuing effort to acknowledge and support the important work that non-profit groups are doing in communities across the planet, JACK JOHNSON’S 2010 world tour is reaching out to groups who are activating positive change in the realms of water quality, community & school gardens, land preservation, environmental education and more. JACK JOHNSON has again engaged a number of these organizations to be present at his Australian shows to raise awareness of their objectives.
