JACK JOHNSON

 

 

Jack Johnson was born on the North Shore of Oahu where he grew up like any local kid; surfing the Pipeline. By 14 he was competing in the Masters tournament as one of the top surfers in the world. It was his near fatal wipe out on one of these monster waves that immortalized him and his battered face became an indelible image in the surfing world. While recovering, he pursued his interest in filmmaking and soon became a surf film director, photographer, producer and score composer. His most recent film "The September Sessions" won The Surfer Magazine Poll award for best film of the year.

 

JP Plunier produced Brushfire Fairytales. He has produced all of Ben Harper's albums. Harper played on Brushfire Fairytales as well as Tommy Jordan from Geggy Tah and Merlo from Spain. Adam Topol played drums. The album was recorded in Los Angeles in the summer of 2000 at Grandmaster Recorders and mixed at King Sound.
