Jack Johnson – Bike Valet

Join Jack Johnson (who has been a pioneer in terms of eco-conscious touring) & HBL  to assist in greening his upcoming tour. 

One of the ways Jack Johnson offsets his touring carbon footprint is by offering bike valets at the venues along his tour. HBL will be providing free bike valet for these two upcoming events and hope that you can lend a hand!

Singer-songwriter Jack Johnson’s easy-going music resonated well with listeners, earning him a breakthrough into the mainstream scene with his debut album, Brushfire Fairytales, which entered the top 50 of the Billboard 200 chart. By his sophomore album, On and On, Johnson skyrocketed to number 3 on the said chart. On and On spawned the hit single, “The Horizon Has Been Defeated.” The album also features “Gone,” a song in which the chorus was used for the Black Eyed Peas’ “Gone Going.” Later, the track earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocal. In 2005, Johnson released his third album, In Between Dreams, which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album contains the massive hit, “Better Together.” The record eventually earned a double-platinum certification in the U.S. and multiple platinum in Australia, Denmark, New Zealand, and many more. Jack Johnson went on a chart-topping streak for his subsequent three albums, Sleep Through The Static, To the Sea, and From Here to Now to You. The records earned multiple platinum and gold certifications in the U.S. and several other countries. This year, Johnson is slated to release his eighth studio album, Meet the Moonlight, in June. If you’re into easy-going tunes, then Jack Johnson is your man. Tickets to see him perform at the Waikiki Shell are now available!
