Jack Johnson performs Mumford & Sons’ “The Cave” and “The Bonnaroo Song” at Bonnaroo on June 15, 2013.
Johnson stepped in for Mumford & Sons when they had to cancel their Bonnaroo performance due to bassist Ted Dwane’s medical condition. In addition to paying tribute to the band by covering their hit “The Cave,” Johnson dedicated his entire set to the band, saying, “We want to dedicate this whole set to Ted Dwane and all of Mumford & Sons. And we wish we could all be here playing music together. Maybe that will be next year, hopefully.”

From Billboard.com:
Sunday 16, June 2013
Words: Jason Lipshutz
“I wrote this song this morning,” Jack Johnson, acoustic guitar strapped in his hands, told his thousands of onlookers at the 2013 Bonnaroo festival on Saturday night (June 15), “and I just wanted to share it with you guys.”
When the 38-year-old folk singer-songwriter casually tossed out the statement during his headlining set, the nonchalance came off as completely natural; of course Johnson, who nodded at the opportunity to fill in for Mumford & Sons’ recently scrapped headlining show at this year’s Bonnaroo fest and pulled a cohesive set together in less than 48 hours, could summon the time and dedication to write a quick ditty on Saturday morning and hone it enough for Saturday night. The song, titled “Bonnaroo,” essentially served as a recap of the unfortunate festival situation involving Mumford & Sons bassist Ted Dwane undergoing surgery for a blood clot on the surface of his brain, forcing the folk-rock stars to cancel their Saurday night performance at Bonnaroo. Johnson’s quickly organized replacement status was mentioned in his new song, simply titled “Bonnaroo”: “I had a late night gig with ALO… but then the phone rang, and things got strange/My low pro[file] was about to change.”
Johnson, who performed at the first-ever Bonnaroo 12 years ago and also headlined the festival in 2008, was able to write a song with a solid coda (“What the hell, it’s Bonnaroo!”) and full-fledged accordion solo in a matter of hours, but none of that was surprising. The mid-set treat was simply the cherry on top of a delightful headlining performance that no one could have seen coming one week ago. Johnson, whose four-piece band hadn’t played an expansive show in over a year, completely committed to the challenge of filling in for Mumford & Sons without complaint or error, and even maintained his surfer-dude halo by showing love to the U.K. quartet with a shout-out and cover song.
“We want to dedicate this whole set to Ted Dwane and all of Mumford & Sons,” Johnson told the crowd, who roared their respect back in his face. [“And we wish we could all be here playing music together. Maybe that will be next year, hopefully.”] Over an hour later, Johnson and his crew were jamming on “The Cave,” Mumford & Sons’ Song of the Year nominee from Sigh No More…
