Touring for the first time since 2014, Jack Johnson plays his soothing surfer-inspired sounds at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena on July 28 and 29.
Son of well-known surfer Jeff Johnson, Jack learned to surf at age five. At age 17, he became the youngest to make the finals of the Pipeline Maters. After a pro surfing accident, Johnson focused his energy on school and music.
Drawing inspiration from folk rock, soul, reggae and even hip-hop, his unique sound comes from a variety of musical influences including Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, Bob Marley and A Tribe Called Quest, to name a few. Johnson's popular songs like “Banana Pancakes” “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing," "Breakdown" and “Better Together” appeared on his 2005 album, “In Between Dreams.” It hit the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at No. 2 and No. 1 in the UK and Australian charts. Johnson has six studio albums to date.
Aside from making music, the Hawaii native is also a filmmaker and active environmentalist. His charity, Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation, supports environmental, arts and music education.
Get your Jack Johnson tickets and hear all of his acoustic rock hits live at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena this summer.
