Groovin' in the Park


This weekend, Paul and I went to the Jack Johnson concert. It was a beautiful evening in the Centennial parklands and the perfect place to listen to some great music outdoors. Australia is Jack's first stop on his tour to promote his latest album, Sleep Through the Static. Overall, his new album is a bit mellow and simple yet quite lovely and calming.

We arrived at the park relatively early which was good because it was extremely packed with mobs of people. Luckily we were close to the left side of the stage; however, me being the shorty that I am struggled to see much of the stage as everyone was standing the entire night.

Before Jack opened, Aboriginal dancers from Nowra performed on stage. It was really good and so nice to see and hear such a warm welcome from the audience for the performers. We also heard some great tunes from the supporting lineup which included Will Connor, Matt Costa, and special guest, G Love and Special Sauce.

Overall, the concert was great fun and we were happy to see Jack down unda!


P.S. Happy St. Patty's Day to everyone!
