Jack Johnson added to Bridge Benefit line-up

jack-johnson-picture-2Singer Jack Johnson has been added to the 2013 Bridge School Benefit line-up.

Jambands.com is reporting that Johnson will join Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Queens of the Stone Age, My Morning Jacket, Elvis Costello, Fun., Diana Krall, Heart and Jenny Lewis for the event, which is set to take place October 26 and 27 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain Views, CA. Johnson has been added to the bill following The Killers’ recent cancellation.

Jack Johnson is no stranger to charitable performances, seeing as all of his live shows are essentially benefit concerts. For years, Johnson has put all of his touring proceeds into his Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation

Johnson performed at the benefit in 2002 and had this to say:

“At the event, you felt such a part of the mission for them,” Kim recalls of the annual concerts, which raise funds for the school dedicated to helping physically challenged children overcome their impairments through the use of technology. “It was a special gathering—you felt like part of a family. We thought, ‘We want to do something similar.’”

The songs just happened. First thing in the morning, I\'d pick up a guitar, play two or three chords and go, \"That\'s the blueprint. That\'s what my soul told me, so that\'s what it is.\"
Then I\'d go to the studio. I would write the words, without guitar, in my car. I\'d keep stopping on the way -- write two verses, go a hundred yards, stop, write some more. I kept moving, and writing, until I got to the studio.
Whatever I had then, that was the song. \"Devil\'s Sidewalk\" -- the recording is the first time I sang it, the first time the band had ever heard it.
