Friday closed on a very mellow note, as Hawaii’s singer-songwriter Jack Johnson played his patently chillaxed tunes, many from his recent No. 1 album “Sleep Through the Static.” Playing acoustic guitar, and a bit of ukulele, Johnson’s mellow music wasn’t suited for all tastes (many audience members chose to check out Fatboy Slim and/or Black Lips at other venues), but his likable demeanor and unobjectionable (mostly bland) music was a good way to bring down the crowd. Johnson brought similarly-minded guests Matt Costa and Mason Jennings to the stage, each for a song. Johnson’s doing the festival marathon this summer, playing Bonnaroo (in Tennessee), All Points West (N.J.) and Outside Lands Fest in S.F.
