I just received a newsletter from Jack Johnson’s label Brushfire Records, announcing so many things to wait for! The highlight being Jack’s concert DVD/Blu-Ray from his Europe tour last summer. This is a film by Emmett Malloy, named appropriately in French En Concert. Looks like it’s mostly about Jack’s show at Bercy in Paris, but containing footage from other shows as well. I also went to one those concerts (Loreley in Germany), so I hope to see something from there!

But there are also so many other good artists signed on Brushfire. Many of them playing the kind of acoustic singer-songwriter stuff I’ve been so obsessed with lately, while some others, like Rogue Wave, rock harder. I haven’t been talking about all them yet, I like to save artist introductions for later to keep the blog going smoothly.

The woman with a beautiful voice, Zee Avi, is Brushfire’s hot new name for this year. Her self-titled debut album is due out May 19. Listen to her music on her MySpace or read about her upcoming events.

I’ve been listening to Mason Jennings a lot lately, mostly his older records. I was glad to learn he starts recording his second album on Brushfire in May. Some other Brushfire artists are also working on their new records. ALO is recording their upcoming album at Jack Johnson’s Mango Tree studio in Hawaii. You can follow their progress on twitter.

To stay tuned with all thing Brushfire, follow them on twitter as well. Here’s the trailer for Jack’s new concert DVD.
