Jack Johnson: The Rolling Stone Studio Live at SXSW

Jack Johnson joins The Rolling Stone Studio with Brian Hiatt live at SXSW to reflect on the unlikely path that took him from surfer to filmmaker to one of the defining singer-songwriters of his generation. He opens up about his new documentary SURFILMUSIC, revisiting early four-track recordings, the accident that shifted his trajectory, and the influences – from Fugazi to folk – that shaped his sound. It’s a thoughtful conversation about creative evolution, hidden intensity beneath his laid-back persona, and the moments that quietly changed everything. Learn more about your ad choices.
