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.’”

\"What is it about JJ Cale’s playing? I mean, you could say Eric
Clapton’s the guitar god, but... he can\'t play like JJ,\" Young told
biographer Jimmy McDonough. \"JJ’s the one who played all that s---
first... And he doesn’t play very loud, either — I really like that
about him. He’s so sensitive. Of all the players I ever heard, it’s
gotta be Hendrix and JJ Cale who are the best electric guitar players.
JJ’s my peer, but he doesn’t have the business acumen — he doesn’t have the idea of how to deal with the rest of the world that I do. But
musically, he’s actually more than my peer, because he’s got that thing.
I don’t know what it is.\"
