Jack Johnson's new single will be 'Hope', a track from his album Sleep Through The Static which has been No. 1 in the UK, USA and six other countries. It will be released by Brushfire/Island Records on Monday April 14.
Sleep Through The Static has now sold over 200,000 copies in the UK.
Jack Johnson returns to the UK in the summer to headline his very own concert in London's Hyde Park on July 2, 2008. Jack will be supported by G Love & Special Sauce and Mason Jennings plus further guests to be announced.
In addition to this mammoth headline show, Jack will now play four more shows at Birmingham's NIA on July 3, Newquay, Watergate Bay on July 5 and 6 and Manchester's MEN Arena on 7 July.
The Newquay venue is situated on a stunning cliff top location overlooking Watergate Bay on the dramatic coastline of North Cornwall. The first Newquay show sold all 10,000 tickets in a few days so a second show was added.
Jack Johnson and crew have greened every aspect of their 2008 tour and are joining with non-profits worldwide to start-up a new interactive community, both online and at concerts, to inspire fans to be the change they want to see. The concept is simple: An individual action, multiplied by millions, creates global change. The community is called ALL AT ONCE, and can be accessed at www.jackjohnsonmusic.com. Fans can join Jack's community, take action, get free downloads and learn about other ways to reduce their environmental impact—like carpooling to the shows.
As music lovers everywhere have fallen head over heels for his unique, acoustic sound, it's heartening to know that Jack's music is a pure distillation of his own character. Modest, warm-hearted and serene, Jack Johnson has found global success on his own terms, without hype or compromise.
