No Kokua Festival this year
After five consecutive years, Jack Johnson's popular Kokua Festival will take 2009 off, Johnson's publicist announced yesterday."We've had five great years of the festival," said Brittany Pearce from Fresh and Clean Media in Los Angeles, "and we wanted to take some time out to regroup."
Pearce said she couldn't confirm whether the festival would return to the Waikiki Shell in 2010. She also said that Johnson, after traveling the world in his "All at Once" tour, "has no plans to tour after a very busy '08."
The Kokua Festival was staged as a benefit for the Kokua Hawaii Foundation, an environmental group founded by Johnson and his wife, Kim. Johnson performed on concert bills that featured local artists as well as high-profile music acts from elsewhere, such as Michael Franti & Spearhead, Ozomatli, Jackson Browne, Ben Harper, Willie Nelson, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Dave Matthews.
Held on or around Earth Day, the concert usually sells out quickly.
