Why can't Axl get a hit record without Slash?

Filed under: News , Video , New Music , Exclusive A great song can come together any number of ways -- and can take anywhere from minutes to years to complete. Sometimes, when it seems like the song just isn't all there yet, all it needs is a little help from a friend. In Ozomatli 's case, that friend was Jack Johnson and the song is 'It's Only Paper.' "We write a lot; over time old ideas always resurface. The music that inspired what you [...]

This year's lineup for the Mile High Music Festival was just dropped in our inbox, and it's looking like a pretty solid, mainstream festival for the Colorado fans. The celebration returns to the lawns at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Denver, CO for the weekend of August 14-15, 2010.

As a Colorado girl who grew up 15 minutes from Red Rocks Amphitheatre , i.e. the greatest live music venue ever, it was always hard to muster the motivation to go to a non-Red Rocks show. All alternate venues, however idyllic in their summertime ski-slope location, tended to pale in comparison to the monolithic, naturally-amplified glory of Red Rocks. It seems, however, that the times are a-changin' for the Centennial State, as the relatively new Mile High Music Festival gains momentum and reveals its fanciest line-up yet. Nestled just outside of downtown Denver, the festival's [...]

Now a staple in the summer festival circuit, the Denver based Mile High Music Festival will return for its third edition this summer, though the festivities will begin a little later than usual. This year's Mile High is set to take place from August 14-15, nearly a month later than the two previous incarnations of the festival. Yet the change seems to have allowed the two-day to round together its biggest bill to date, as the likes of Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket, Phoenix, Weezer, the legendary Jimmy Cliff, and Mile High's first ever headliner, Dave [...]

Deion Sanders was great at baseball and football, but he dropped the ball as a hip-hop act -- and let's never speak of the rapping of basketball's Shaquille O'Neal and soccer's Andy Cole .

A few years back it seemed as you couldn't find a festival that didn't have Jack Johnson's name at the top of the bill. The former pro-surfer turned rocker will hit the road again this summer for his own solo headlining tour in support of his fifth studio album To The Sea , which will hit stores via his Brushfire label on June 1. The 34-date North American run will kick off on July 9 in Hartford, CT and will be almost an exclusive to amphitheaters, except for a high profile [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , UK Surfer-friendly singer-songwriter Jack Johnson dropped into London on Friday (Mar. 5) to preview songs from his forthcoming album 'To The Sea.' In contrast to the Hawaiian singer songwriter's grizzled appearance, the venue was an elegant, chandeliered gallery in a Georgian terrace overlooking the gardens of Buckingham Palace. Its stage, though, was decorated with beachside paraphernalia, including a wooden sign bearing the record's title. A backdrop featured a picture of Johnson's father, who died last August, erecting a [...]
