Jack Johnson Real Tones

Born in 1975, the son of a professional surfer, Jack Johnson dreamed of making it as a pro until a bad accident in which he nearly died made him think again. Rehabilitating he took up his guitar and started penning some tunes.

The results came to the attention of record producers who helped him release his first album Brushfire Fairytales in 2000. It's phenomenal success saw him sign with a major recording company and he subsequently released two more albums On and On and In Between Dreams.

A keen environmentalist, Jack Johnson looks set to continue entertaining people with his well-crafted songs and real tones for many years to come.

2005 saw Jack Johnson add another string to his bow when he wrote and recorded the soundtrack to the animated movie Curious George.

In February 2006, Johnson will make his UK TV debut when appearing on the internationally recognised Brit Awards.

Lyrics

But someone plays evil tricks on that kid,
And certain situations scream for deviations,
But somehow he always gets stuck in the middle,
Of this and that and man he should try less,
Because every time he's rejected man he loses affection. (From 'Middle Man')

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels and I don't see them on the tv shows,
Where'd all the good people go?
We've got heaps and heaps of what we sow.

Jack´s Quotes

"I want to talk about joy and the hard things and feeling better about the process of life."

"Music is a secondary thing in my life."

"I was a nature boy growing up, being out in the ocean all the time, hiking, camping, taking canoe trips with my dad —that's where it all comes from."

"I'm not preaching. I'm just trying to set an example for anyone listening to my music."
