Jack Johnson is bringing his SURFILMUSIC<\/em> Tour to 43 outdoor venues across North America next year, including 3 locations in New York State.<\/p>\n With this tour, Johnson<\/a> will be making his first return to the road since 2022, this time celebrating his upcoming documentary film SURFILMUSIC <\/em>and honoring his 20+ year catalogue of folk and surf-rock staples. He\u2019ll be bringing his tour to some of the most beautiful outdoor venues in the US, with his 3 New York dates being at Saratoga\u2019s Saratoga Performing Arts Center<\/a> on June 24, Wantagh\u2019s Northwell at Jones Beach Theater<\/a> on June 28, and Canandaigua\u2019s CMAC<\/a> on July 1.<\/p>\n SURFILMUSIC<\/em> is a documentary covering Jack Johnson\u2019s amazing life story and career trajectory, from surfer to non-fiction filmmaker to acclaimed musician. The film will go into the process behind Johnson\u2019s two beloved surf films, 1999\u2019s Thicker Than Water<\/em> and 2000\u2019s The September Sessions<\/em>, which were responsible for tailoring Johnson\u2019s artistic voice and jumpstarting his music career. The film will honor the lifelong friendships and coastal community that have made Johnson who he is, while featuring many of the surfers from Johnson\u2019s original 2 films and exploring his goals of blending music and environmentalism.<\/p>\n In anticipation of the tour, Johnson has released a new single, \u201cHold On To The Light\u201d featuring Hermanos Guti\u00e9rrez<\/a>, who will be working alongside Johnson on the film\u2019s soundtrack and performing as an opener on the SURFILMUSIC<\/em> Tour. Guti\u00e9rrez began as an admirer of Johnson\u2019s music and films before joining him in the studio, allowing their mutual admiration to blossom into friendship, and eventually, an entire film soundtrack. The soundtrack has also reunited Johnson with longtime producer Mario Caldato Jr., who co-produced many of Johnson\u2019s albums, such as In Between Dreams<\/em> and Sleep Through the Static<\/em>.<\/p>\n
