Jack Johnson pleased fans on Friday (June 24) with the release of his latest LP, Meet The Moonlight, a 10-track album that investigates human behavior and the state of the world.

The new LP marks the eighth for the multi-platinum musician. And to celebrate the news, Johnson released the single, “One Step Ahead,” which you can see below.
Meet The Moonlight, which is Johnson’s first full-length release in five years, was produced by Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Perfume Genius, Jim James) and recorded both in Los Angeles (at Sound City and EastWest) and The Mango Tree (Johnson’s studio in Hawaii).
The creation process marks a major artistic milestone from past work, taking shape from a one-on-one collaboration with Mills (whose contributions included everything from fretless guitar to Moog synth to steel drums) and unveiled an intimate and highly experimental process that involved embedding Johnson’s elegantly stripped-back arrangements with enchanting sonic details.
Jack and his band are underway on a 37-date North American tour. Greening and the environment remain at the forefront of Johnson’s touring with extensive sustainability programs at every show. The 2022 Meet The Moonlight Tour will expand green touring practices and continue to promote sustainable local food systems and plastic-free initiatives.
But wait, there’s more! Johnson also announced an upcoming 37-stop U.S. tour, which spans through October 7. See the full list of dates below.
Johnson’s tour staff is working closely with promoters and venues in support of the BYOBottle campaign to create innovative plastic-free campaigns which eliminate disposable plastic, provide water refill stations, and promote reusables. Also returning, the “Farm to Stage” program, where venues are encouraged to source local, organic food to support farmers in their region.
Additionally, Johnson’s All At Once campaign will support over 220 Non-Profit Partners throughout his 2022 tour and will engage fans in the Village Green at each show. Fans can take action with All At Once to earn rewards on Propeller, and concertgoers can enter to win Best Seats in the House and other prizes to inspire environmental action at the shows.

All net proceeds earned through Platinum and Premium ticketing programs will be donated to the Johnson Ohana Foundation to support All At Once Non-Profit Partners in communities near each concert. In addition, $2 from every ticket will support the environment, with half being directed to carbon offset projects and the other half to support the All At Once Non-Profit Partners and their environmental projects, plastic-free initiatives, and food security efforts.
