Jack Johnson - If I Had Eyes single / Sleep Through The Static album
• A year later, Johnson left Hawaii - and any thoughts of being a pro surfer - for the University Of California at Santa Barbara, where he majored in filmmaking, producing profiles of local punk bands. After graduating, he was given the opportunity to put his freshly honed skills to better use when buddies Chris and Emmett Malloy invited him to join them on a yearlong project shooting a 16mm surf movie. The result, Thicker Than Water, showcased the talents of many of Johnson's childhood friends, by now some of the best surfers in the world. To keep the budget low, Johnson supplied the music, penning laid back, tuneful songs that would be the blueprint of his distinctive style.
• A bootleg of the score began circulating around the surf community before the film had even been released. One of his bootlegs landed with JP Plunier, Ben Harper's manager and producer. He took Johnson and band into the studio to record Brushfire Fairytales. The rest is history.
• Jack lists his musical influences as Nick Drake, The Beatles, Hendrix, Tribe Called Quest, Dylan, Ben Harper, Radiohead, G. Love and Special Sauce, Otis Redding, Neil Young, Bob Marley and so on.
