Artist:
Jack Johnson
From: North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii
Jack Johnson represents the new wave of Trop Rock
entertainers that have risen to the top and increased the public's
awareness and appreciation for the mental vacation lifestyle.
Jack is a leader and a trend-setter. He may, in fact, be the
incarnation of where the trop rock genre is headed.
While Parrotheads generally love his music, he's
no Jimmy Buffett tribute act. Indeed, it can be said that
Jack Johnson's music serves as a graduation from The Beach Boys
& Jimmy Buffett School of Musical Escapism.
Classically trained in music at UC Santa Barbara,
Johnson's beach-mellow sounds instantly throw listeners into a
mental beach party (not your typical volleyball style, surfing,
kegger-type party, however; more of a sunset,
sitting-near-the-surf-and-singing kind of beach party).
"Jack
Johnson is music for those who have graduated from the Jimmy Buffett School of Musical
Escapism."
