Any ideas where I'd recognise "Good People" from? I swear I've heard it somewhere before, on Scrubs maybe?

His latest album (can't remember what its called) is his 3rd I believe. One of my favourites is him & Ben Harper singing Marley's High Tide or Low Tide

He has 3. "In Between Dreams" is the most recent but there is also "On and On" and "Brushfire Fairytales"

I love Sitting Waiting Wishing!

I saw a videoclip of his recently, I guess the song was called Taylor, and there was Ben Stiller on it! Wasn't a soundtrack though, he really played a part in the clip, if you can call it so.
The video for Sitting, waiting … is great, too.

BTW, how old is he? He doesn't look older than middle-thirty, not even,but has already given up his surfer career?

The firs time I heard of him was around christmas when a friend of mine got his album as a gift. He is really good. I went over to south africa for a wedding in january and it seems he is really big over there but not many people have heard of him here.

it seems like he's getting loads more exposure here, I've seen an interview in the sunday times and jo whiley and scott mills have played his stuff on their shows recently.

I really didn't get totally into Jack Johnson until On and On came out. Once I got into that, I started to enjoy all his stuff, past and present. Just chill and enjoyable, especially in the spring/summer.

I don't think he was a pro surfer, he made surfing videos. but i'm not positive.

I thought when I heard him interviewed on LBC a couple of months ago (that was the 1st time I'd heard of him!) he said he was a pro surfer, but may have misheard he might just have said he was a surfer btw sorry to keep going on about it but have you heard him singing High Tide Low Tide with Ben Harper yet?? It really is great, pm me with an email address if you want a copy

I love 'Good People'. It's like a running commentary of what's on TV.

He is a surfing legend, well in his home state of Hawaii at least, and he is absolutely MASSIVE amongst the surfers and students here in Cornwall.

His Cornwall gig sold out in minutes....

He's pretty good Live, though it must be during the day and sunny. Fits perfectly.

*pouts* I want to see him live!

In various articles and promotional bits I think he's said he was a professional surfer who turned his hand to singing. But that may have been the press embellishing his status!

I love 'Bubble Toes', when he sings 'bubbly toes' it makes me smile. I don't know why, it just makes me chuckle!
