Jack Johnson was born on the North Shore of Oahu where he grew up like any local kid; surfing the Pipeline. By 14 he was competing in the Masters tournament as one of the top surfers in the world. It was his near fatal wipe out on one of these monster waves that immortalized him and his battered face became an indelible image in the surfing world.
While recovering, he pursued his interest in filmmaking and soon became a surf film director, photographer, producer and score composer. His most recent film "The September Sessions" won The Surfer Magazine Poll award for best film of the year.
One day G. Love was introduced to Jack for a day of surfing and ended up recording Jack's song "Rodeo Clowns" for his last album Philadelphonic. It became the first single from the album and Jack sang and played on the track.
JP Plunier produced Brushfire Fairytales. He has produced all of Ben Harper's albums. Harper played on Brushfire Fairytales as well as Tommy Jordan from Geggy Tah and Merlo from Spain. Adam Topol played drums. The album was recorded in Los Angeles in the summer of 2000 at Grandmaster Recorders and mixed at King Sound.
Jack will begin touring with Adam and Merlo in February in support of Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals.
Brushfire Fairytales is the first release for the newly formed Enjoy-records. For more information check our web-sites.
