Jack Johnson added to Bridge Benefit line-up
Singer 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

We thought, ‘We want to do something similar.’”
