About this episode

Jack Johnson is a singer-songwriter, musician, filmmaker, and surfer from the shores of Hawaii.

Propelled by his signature blend of laid-back acoustic folk-rock and his innate ability to craft soul-stirring melodies and lyrics, Johnson’s music career took flight with the release of his debut album, the critically acclaimed Brushfire Fairytales (2001).

Following the success of his debut, Johnson continued to captivate audiences with albums like On and On (2003), In Between Dreams (2005), From Here to Now to You (2013), All the Light Above It Too (2017), and Meet the Moonlight (2022).
