Multi-platinum recording artist Jack Johnson announces SURFILMUSIC Tour, which marks his long-awaited return to the road since 2022 and will celebrate a new era of music, film and environmental connection rooted in his chart-topping catalogue, spanning over twenty years.
In support of the tour, Johnson has released a new single, "Hold Onto the Light", featuring Hermanos Guitérrez. The song offers an early glimpse into the forthcoming SURFILMUSIC soundtrack, scored by Jack Johnson and Hermanos Guitérrez for the new film. SURFILMUSIC, a documentary chronicling Johnson's evolution from surfer to filmmaker to world-renowned musician, weaves through the making of his iconic surf films Thicker Than Water (1999) and The September Sessions (2000). These classic films revealed Johnson's artistic point of view through his lens and guitar, ultimately launching his music career.
ben harper
Ben Harper is one of the premiere songwriters of his generation. He is also one of the most versatile and brave songwriters, fearlessly working in a cross-section of genres, ranging from pop, reggae and soul, to blues, rock, funk and folk. He has recorded 18 studio albums and amassed a worldwide following having sold over 16 million records globally and 3 Grammy Awards.
​
Ben was born on October 28, 1969. While his music and career embody the sonic bravery, brilliance, lyrical honesty and social activism of that pivotal time, Harper adds his unique modern day cultural awareness, brining with social conscience into the now, reflected in the 2023 nomination for the newly minted Grammy Special Merit Award for "Best Song for Social Change".
​
Harper's latest album, "Wide Open Light", dropped in June 2023 including "Yard Sale", a duet with Jack Johnson. It followed up the political and personally revealing, fearless and soulful Grammy-nominated "Bloodline Maintenance".

John Butler is an icon. One of Australia's most prolific independent artists, Butler is a political activist, environmental warrior and a master of stringed instruments, deep grooves and openhearted lyrical reflections. More than a humble singer-songwriter: he is a musical revolutionary.
​
With his unique grasp of melody, soul and anthemic pop choruses, the ARIA award winner's deft musicality has kept him on our airwaves for more than 20 years, with such hits as "Zebra" and "Better Than", not to mention his swag of platinum records, and the trademark instrumental "Ocean", which has amassed more than 65 million YouTube views.
