Jack Johnson - Live at Beeb
Hawaiian singer-songwriter Jack Johnson has three passions in his life: music, surfing and his family. Raised on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, Jack practically began to surf as he began to walk and was constantly seeking out the next best wave. As he hit his teens his tastes began to widen and he started to develop an interest in the guitar.
At eighteen Jack left the islands to study filmmaking at the University of California. After graduating he began a year long adventure around the world with some old surfing friends. The trip resulted in him directing and shooting an acclaimed 16mm surf film ‘Thicker Than Water’, which was hailed as a return to the purist beauty of early surf cinema.
It was during the scoring of the film that Jack found his musical voice. He was already becoming a name amongst the surfing community but after he recorded the song 'Rodeo Clowns', which quickly gained radio airplay, Jack’s reputation as a musician began to spread beyond the surfing fraternity. However despite offers to sign a record deal, Jack chose to ignore the growing attention to his music and instead returned to the South Pacific to make another highly successful surfing film. Finally a bootleg tape fell into the hands of musician Ben Harper, who convinced Jack to finally concentrate on his music. By 2001 he'd released his first record 'Brushfire Fairytales'.
Six years on and Jack’s career has gone from strength to strength. He’s featured on film soundtracks like Curious George and released three albums of his own, with a fourth one due to be released in 2008.

Jack Johnson (born May 18, 1975) is a Hawaii-born singer-songwriter who has achieved commercial success and a dedicated following since the release of his debut album, "Brushfire Fairytales".
later, it was still on the charts, where it was positioned at #3 (March 21st 2006). Also released in 2006 was the album Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George. A common feature of Johnson's music is major chord tonality in his basic chord progressions.
In the music video for "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing", everything happens in reverse. Johnson is pelted with various objects and liquids are dumped over his head, but everything appears to fly away from him as the video plays backward from the way it was filmed. In order to achieve this, Johnson learned to mouth all of the lyrics to the song backwards. The music video for his song "Taylor" features a guest appearance from actor Ben Stiller.
