Artists similar to Jack Johnson

net_slayer · 30 Jul 2009 at 22:28

Ive been listening to On and On by Jack Johnson and it has put me in a good mood and really cheered me up. These songs are simply amazing and so chilled out. Im after other similar singers/songwriters like Jack. I love the whole acoustic thing too, one man and his guitar. Its brilliant. What can you guys recommend? I could just go hunt a list of similar stuff on amazon but id rather get recommendations from people that know who the good artists are. Female singers are also welcome.

Gonna get back to my album now

That Jason Mraz chap?

Pretty gay stuff though.

Some of my favs:

Joshua Radin
Ingrid Michaelson
William Fitzsimmons
Maria Taylor

Never listened to JJ though so could be way off what you're looking for.

Colin Meloy?

Ben Harper. Him and JJ sometimes play together iirc. Very similar

Second Jason Mraz - I'd also recommend Damien Rice

In some ways yes, although BH is roughly 3 million times better and actually has some variation in his style.

Could do what I always do if you like an artist - pop their name in on Last.fm and see what comes up

Donavan Frankenreiter
G-love & Special Sauce

are pretty similar stuff

Jason Mraz, Josh Kelley, Matt Wertz
