Last night, Jack Johnson received the 2010 Humanitarian Award at the annual Billboard Touring Awards in NYC. The award recognizes the philanthropic efforts of a touring musician. Previous award recipients include Kevin Lyman (2009), Jon Bon Jovi (2008), Kevin Wall (2007), Music Rising (2006), Dave Matthews (2005) and Clear Channel Entertainment (2004).

While you're in the Voting Mood, please Vote for the Suhar Brothers
I met Blake, John and Zak Suhar when they were volunteering for Reverb at the Jack Johnson 2010 Alpine Valley & Rivers Edge shows. They helped out with the tour's All At Once booth and in the Village Green, and were so amazing.

During the Alpine Valley show they offered to come help us out the following day, at the Rivers Edge show. They then drove 12 hours round-trip so that they could help us out at Rivers Edge, driving through the night on the return leg, so that Blake could be at work early the next AM. We were so lucky to have them with us for two shows.

Wind it back to 2008
Jack's 2008 Village Green @ UCSB. If you listen closely you'll hear someone speaking about voter registration in the background, at one point. I would like to think that's me:)
