\t\t\t\t\tKiedis at BottleRock Music Festival in Napa, California in May 2025<\/p>\n

\n\tKiedis says he didn\u2019t have Jolene on the road for previous tours before the Chili Peppers\u2019 recent trek wrapped. And while the singer doesn\u2019t warm up with a cold brew before shows because he doesn\u2019t want to get dehydrated, he explains that \u201ctours do not happen without coffee.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tJolene\u2019s appearance at BottleRock marks a lengthy road ahead as a concert and music festival mainstay: So far, live music fans can find the canned coffee at over 40 venues across 23 different states, including spots like the Gorge Amphitheater and Northwell at Jones Beach Theater, to name a few. The coffee will also make appearances at the Sea.Hear.Now festival in New Jersey in September, along with Shaky Knees fest in Atlanta, and Austin City Limits in October.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhen asked about celebrity-backed spirits collabs, Kiedis says they\u2019re \u201cpretty cheesy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThere are a lot of celebrity-driven brands,\u201d Powers says. \u201cFind a celebrity, doesn\u2019t matter what\u2019s in [the product], push, push, push. That is not who we are \u2014 we are a brand that happens to be owned by a celebrity, but the grinding and the working for many years to get this right and then a really beautiful, organic approach about how to get it out there, is really what\u2019s important to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTHE FRIENDS WENT BACK AND FORTH<\/strong> on the product for over five years before landing on the finished coffee. The journey to launching was, as Kiedis puts it, \u201can adventure mostly full of failure until recent.\u201d To get the cans on shelves, Powers and Kiedis also partnered with John Terzian, the h.wood Group\u2019s founder, Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino, and Global Brand Equities founder James Morrissey. Now, it\u2019s finally hitting shelves and available to order directly to your doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cI want everybody in the world to have it once,\u201d Powers says, \u201cand I do know this: Our tagline is, \u2018Everything happens over coffee,\u2019 right? And it really is true.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tPowers continues: \u201cI met a girl that I was with for over 10 years \u2013 we had coffee. I\u2019ve broken up with girls over coffee. I\u2019ve had some transcendent moments with [Kiedis] over coffee. I\u2019ve sat with my son and my son\u2019s cried and had trouble over coffee. \u2026 Everything in my life \u2013 the the cool, huge moments have happened over coffee. So if we can provide a coffee for the world, and they sit down and have coffee and somebody figures out that they\u2019re in love, or somebody figures out the weird words to get their script done, or somebody figures out the right way to draw something that makes somebody else sing or makes them happy. We want to create a community around coffee, and I want every single person in the world to have it once \u2013 that\u2019s what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tKiedis also has some dreams in mind for the brand. \u201cMy dream is for this beverage to become the coffee of choice for truckers,\u201d he tells me. \u201cSo that most truckers, when they get up and they\u2019re like, I got to go, you know, drive to Mississippi, they stop at a convenient mart and buy three or four Jolenes for the ride, but also for this to be the coffee of the Princess of Monaco and her cute little sister.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tA HUMMINGBIRD APPEARS <\/strong>on the front of each of Jolene\u2019s cans, a graphic design contribution from Terzian \u2014 and it\u2019s something that\u2019s become a part of Kiedis\u2019 morning routine ever since they launched the coffee. \u201cEvery single morning of my life I go into the kitchen, I kid you not, this has been unrelenting \u2014 a hummingbird comes to visit me at the kitchen window. I\u2019m getting my coffee cup and this bird doesn\u2019t just pass me \u2014 he stops and he stares me down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tKiedis isn\u2019t the only one seeing the birds, but Powers says he\u2019s seen them along with others at the brand, including their CEO.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a symbol of good vibe prosperity,\u201d Kiedis later adds. \u201cYou don\u2019t see a hummingbird and say \u2018Get the fuck outta here!\u2019 You\u2019re like, \u2018Hold on, everyone, there\u2019s a hummingbird!\u2019 Just a good, fast, loving vibration of a bird.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":47782,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[36761,185,15713,171,12979,36762,15216,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-47781","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-anthony-kiedis","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-coffee","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-noads","13":"tag-red-hot-chili-peppers","14":"tag-rs-recommends","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114815758079446275","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
