Kokua is Back!

As you may be aware, Jack took 2009 off from his annual Kokua Festival, instead opting to donate proceeds from the sale of his live album and film En Concert to help fund the farm to school, environmental education, and recycling programs that the Kokua Hawaii Foundation run. In 2010, the Kokua festival is back!  Mark your calendars, the festival is taking place in Honolulu, HI on April 23rd and 24th.  Ticket and lineup info will be announced early in 2010. We hope you can join us.  More Info at www.kokuafestival.com.

Rogue Wave returns March 2nd with Permalight

Rogue Wave spent several months in Oxford, MS working with noted producer Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello).  We can tell you we’re very excited for the world to hear this album, and we could try and describe how it sounds, but we’ll let Zach Rogue speak for himself: “The record sounds, for lack of a better word, fun.”  Not that the melancholy beauty of their earlier records is absent, but there is a new note being sounded here.  A special video recorded in the studio will premiere online after the New Year. Tour dates have been announced, and are onsale now. They’ll kick it all off with an appearance at Noise Pop.  Check it out http://www.roguewavemusic.com/tour
