If Jack Johnson plays, they will come.

As we walked onto the field, I looked around and saw hundreds of good-looking guys. They looked as though they had just stepped off the cover of Surfer Magazine. It was a Mecca of hot guys and this time it wasn't a gay bar.

My brother, my cousin and I had a couple of hours on Monday night, so we bought tickets from a scalper and saw Jack Johnson, G. Love & Special Sauce and Donavon Frankenreiter at the Summer Stage in Central Park.

Unfortunately we missed Frankenreiter's Santana-influenced performance.

Second-billed G. Love & Special Sauce turned in a rhythmically dynamic set, fueled by hipster beat poet-goes-rap delivery over funky blues.

After an intermission of seductively gorgeous surfing films, Jack Johnson came out with his band and began playing tasteful, subtle acoustic songs.

His lazy guitar rhythms and creamy vocals set the mood.

While Johnson's laid-back approach is anything but gripping, Johnson's sound is still very warm and appealing, like a coffeehouse sing-along at a beach campfire.

The Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter, filmmaker and former pro-surfer sold-out the Summer Stage in May, the first day the tickets went on sale.

Johnson grew up surfing the famous waves of the north shore before moving to the main land to study film at UCSB. He made two surf docs before gpoing the full-time musician route, 1999's "Thicker Than Water" and 2000's "The September Sessions".
