Join SEEDS at the Jack Johnson Concert

on Tuesday, August 12 

Jack Johnson with special guests Rogue Wave and Neil Halstead will perform at the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre on Tuesday, August 12.  Doors open at 6 pm, and the show starts at 7.

SEEDS has been invited to set up a table at the All at Once Village Green, a focal point of every Jack Johnson concert.  Every dollar SEEDS raises between now and August 31 will be matched dollar for dollar by Jack Johnson’s foundation.  Please join us at the concert and make a “two for one” donation to SEEDS.  For tickets, go to Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek.

Jack Hody Johnson (born May 18, 1975) is a Hawaii-born singer-songwriter, musician, filmmaker, and surfer who achieved commercial success and a dedicated following after the release of his debut album, Brushfire Fairytales in 2001.  His music is best described as acoustic/soft rock.  Dubbed the "Jolly Green Giant" of the music business by Billboard Magazine, Johnson is known for his environmentally friendly tours.
