Premier Guide Miami was on the scene. Here is what we witnessed.
Jack Johnson brought his To the Sea Tour to Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on August 26, 2010, with G. Love (solo acoustic) and ALO in support. Johnson was touring behind his fifth studio album, To the Sea , recorded at his solar-powered studios in Hawaii and Los Angeles — and the album's warm, unhurried sound was exactly right for a summer night at an outdoor amphitheatre.
G. Love opened with a solo acoustic set that showcased his blues-inflected acoustic hip-hop at its most intimate. ALO followed with their eclectic, joyful set before Johnson took the stage with his band — bassist Merlo Podlewski, keyboardist Zach Gill, and drummer Adam Topol — for a career-spanning set that drew from To the Sea alongside favorites from Brushfire Fairytales , On and On , In Between Dreams , and Sleep Through the Static .
"Banana Pancakes," "Better Together," "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing," "Taylor," "Upside Down," and new material from To the Sea were among the highlights. Johnson donated 100% of his tour profits to charity — a gesture that felt entirely consistent with the warmth and generosity that has always defined his music and his public presence.
Play Miami covers the city's live music, nightlife, and cultural events — the moments that make South Florida worth showing up for.
