We are pleased to announce that Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds will join Jack Johnson at the Fifth Annual Kokua Festival on April 19-20, 2008 at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii.  All proceeds from the Earth Day weekend festival will benefit the Kokua Hawai'i Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Jack and Kim Johnson to support environmental education programs in the schools and communities of Hawaii.

Other artists in the Kokua Festival line-up include Paula Fuga and Go Jimmy Go, and Brushfire Records' latest addition, the Hawaii-born, Minneapolis-based Mason Jennings.

The Kokua Festival has raised the bar on environmentally friendly concert production both locally and globally.  Some of the innovative greening measures include: zero waste collections sites, bike valet service and electric trolley, free water stations, biodegradable concession ware, use of biodeisel to power festival generators and vehicles, and eco-friendly merchandise.
