DAVE MATTHEWS JOINS JACK JOHNSON AT THE FIFTH ANNUAL KOKUA FESTIVAL

APRIL 19th- 20th • WAIKIKI SHELLOAHU


Hawaii’s own Jack Johnson is proud to share the stage with Dave Matthews at the Fifth Annual Kokua Festival on Earth Day weekend, April 19th and 20th, 2008 at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii. For his first Hawaii appearance ever, Dave Matthews will be performing an acoustic set with guitar master Tim Reynolds. The festival’s incredible music line-up will be rounded out with local island favorites Paula Fuga and Go Jimmy Go, and Brushfire Records’ latest addition, the Hawaii-born, Minneapolis-based Mason Jennings.



All proceeds go to the Kokua Hawaii Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Jack and Kim Johnson to support environmental education programs in the schools and communities of Hawaii. The funds raised from the Kokua Festival will be used to further support school recycling on Oahu, sponsor field trips, and roll out the new farm-to-school program AINA In Schools. The foundation is excited to be expanding its community outreach with a sustainability film series and the new Plastic Free Haleiwa coalition.


In celebration of the Kokua Hawaii Foundation and Kokua Festival’s 5th anniversary, two new projects have been added to inspire environmental action among Hawaii’s students. School groups completing outstanding Kokua Earth Action Projects (KEAP) this school year have been invited to the Keiki Kokua Festival. This keiki (children) only celebration will recognize student efforts to malama (care for) our islands with entertainment by Jack Johnson and other Kokua Festival artists, educational skits, videos and exchanges from participating KEAP school groups.


In addition to the eclectic mix of live music, the Kokua Village lets fans experience eco-friendly clothing from Patagonia, sustainable shoes from Simple Shoes, and organic yogurt from Stonyfield Farm. Kokua Festival attendees can try local food and beverages, learn about products and services from green companies, view alternative energy demonstrations, participate in interactive games and crafts for the kids, and get information about environmentally active groups from around the islands.


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 collection sites where recyclables, food waste and compostables are separated by students from local schools

  • A bike valet service, electric trolley, and carpool incentives

  • Promoting the use of reusable water bottles and providing free water stations

  • Running festival generators and vehicles on locally made biodiesel

  • Using biodegradable concession ware

  • Offering eco-friendly merchandise such as reusable tote bags, bottles, and organic cotton clothing

  • Offsetting the remaining emissions with clean energy development in Hawaii

  • The Kokua Festival concert and behind-the-scenes footage will be broadcast live with a major online partner, and an hour long special will be made for television.


    Tickets are $40 for general admission/lawn, $50 for reserved seats, $125 in the seated pit area, and $20 general admission for children 3-12. Children under 3 are free. New this year, online ticket purchasers will have the option to add on $2 to offset their own personal travel to the show.


    Tickets to the general public will be available at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster or by phone at (877) 750-4400 on February 16th. Starting February 4th, STAR 101.9 listeners will be offered pre-sale opportunities.


    The Kokua Hawaii Foundation thanks Presenting Partners Patagonia, Simple, and Stonyfield Farm; Platinum Partners Bonterra / Fetzer Organic Wines, Brushfire Records, Kashi, Kona Brewing Company, MapCargo, and Toyota Prius Hawaii; and Keiki Partners Bear Naked Granola, FruitaBu Organic Smooshed Fruit, Hawaiian Electric Company, SIGG, and Stretch Island Fruit, as well as many other like-minded companies and organizations for their support! The Kokua Festival is produced locally by Pau Hana Productions with additional coordination by MusicMatters.

    Hello, could I get a couple booking dates from your venue to put on either single or multi-act shows? We can do short notice but some dates a month or so in advance will allow the promoters to do their jobs better. Try us out sometime! Gigblaster. net

    HOMELESS BENEFIT PROJECT

    Calling all good-hearted folks who would like to join forces on a project that will bring people from various walks of life TOGETHER to help uplift our community- spiritually & culturally~

    My vision for this project is to connect all organizations whose aim is to help our community. I would like to see projects such as Paula Fuga's LILIKOI HOUSE come to fruition, helping women in transition... Juliet Lighter's DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROJECT develop into strong organizations... HALAU KU MANA whose mission is to integrate Hawaiian culture back to into education... These are only a few organizations--- I CALL ON ALL OF YOU TO STEP OUT & REACH OUT.

    I challenge people that share different spiritual, cultural, political & educational backgrounds to come together and perpetuate the ALOHA that came before us.

    Homelessness is a growing social problem here in Hawaii and I would like to create a once a year event where everyone can come together to work on this issue, bring their ideas and find resolutions for this and its related social issues. There are various reasons why people end up on the streets; nevertheless, the homeless are an important part of our community. Some of us are more fortunate than the next; and while Hawaii is flourishing, with its big money plans & wonderous developments... we must remember what is happening to the people of the land.

    Through cultural education and availability of resources, we can all take responsibility and join together to help people help themselves in more ways than one.

    PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

    ALTHOUGH THIS PROJECT MAY SEEM INTIMIDATING AND OVERWHELMING, I'D RATHER DIE TRYING... SO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO JUMP ON THE BUS, HOLLA.

    XO, PAISLEY.

    *An event will take place @ WAIMEA AUDOBON with the date TBA (to be arranged) because I would like to let this project evolve and mature on its own before presenting it to the public.
