Upset that you weren't there to see the "Rock The Boat" performance, i.e. the "Evan Almighty" premiere at which Switchfoot played? Well, there's hope. A lot of it. "It will be shown every day for a week, beginning at 4 p.m. Saturday, but only on the Gospel Music Channel." And what if you don't have the Gospel Music Channel? No problem. HollywoodJesus.com will be streaming the concert online, this Saturday (16th), at 6pm PST / 9PM EST - for FREE! For more details, click here. (they say spots are limited, so sign up quick!)
We've heard great things about "Rock the Boat", as well as the Apple Store performance. While a review and more media are in the works, here's some pictures and videos to tide you over...
The Switchfoot guys looking all studly on the green carpet... Thanks, Coralee.
Mr. New-Hairdo all happy to be on the giant screen... Thanks, blue_distinction.
Jamie Tworkowski, TWLOHA dude, and writer extraordinaire, mentioned Jon in his newest blog (go read the whole thing, it's really good):
As for a new hat, who knows. Jon always says "You have to live in a place that matters" and it's true. Maybe SD, with it's trains and waves and simple small downtowns. Jon and all his songs, Dustin just north with dozens more.
Magda C. emailed us with this great bit of info:
A couple of days ago Molly Jenson was opening for Jonatha Brooke at the Coach House in San Juan. She wrote a little review after the show, including this: "My friend Carly Layne was sweet enough to document the evening with a video and she even interviewed me after the show.(...) AND, my friend Jon Foreman also came out for the evening and we played a new song that we finished a couple hours before the show. Everyone loves a new song! There's a snippet of it on the video. Check it out HERE."
Thanks, Magda.
Jason McGouldrick, a freelance writer and Switchfoot fan, asked us if he could transcribe the video interview we did with Tim at bro-am. Of course, we said yes - check out the interview in written form.Thanks, Jason.
i LOVE the *Jon talking* video!! i love how he made that name up, and was like, "yeah i'll be that guy!" i love them they should be anyone but them...cuz their...AMAZAZING!!! ~LYDIA
I Jon has been a busy man. He is doing a lot of song writing with other artists these days.
I wish I could have been at the Rock the Boat show. It looked like an awsome show. And I don't even get to enjoy the concert online b/c I'm going to a friend's birthday party.
Thanks Phil for putting the sites to see Switchfoot playing at the apple store! I really wanted to be there, but unfortunately things change. I watched some more videos that other people put up and it seems like they did a great job! Well they always seem to do a great job!

@natasha aw, crap, that sucks, I wanted to save those for your review!! ....if only I'd known you're DirtySecondHands. oh well. [added credit, will re-mention on the review]
@anonymous I didn't find out about the hollywoodjesus thing from LOBH. don't worry, i'm pretty particular when it comes to crediting, cause I know how it feels to have your efforts not credited :) but thanks for checking in.
@everyone glad you guys are enjoying the updates. thanks for the comments, they make it worth it. ;)
I LOVE Molly Jenson. Every household should have her cd. She was at Bro-Am this year, she just didn't perform. I wish I could have met her and told her in person how much I enjoy her music. I hope she will perform next year at the Bro-Am. I would love to hear her live. Her "back up band" in the video is pretty impressive too (haha). Do yourself a favor and buy her cd. You will not be disappointed!
Please email me at ryangregg@tx.rr.com and I'll have a rip of the concert from GMC. I have it in my channle lineup here in Dallas. It will take me a few days to get it ripped, but I'll get it.
I just watched the Rock The Boat concert! Totally awsome! Jon was really hyper! I think he was drawing from the energy of such a huge crowd! Loved it!!! <3
I was a bit sad to find that they cut parts of the concert out though. They didn't show when sang in the crowd... hmmm... Oh well... this is better than nothing for sure!
Don't ask, don't read: In 1876, a young girl named Jenn was walking down a river, an insane man killed her by stabbing her in the back, raping her, and then hanging her in his closet. Now that you have read this message, she will haunt your house for 5 years. Every night when you go to sleep she will appear in your closet, hanging their with her glowing red eyes. repost 3 times to be saved.
