About

MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD IN CONCERT:

Rock/hip hop fusion outfit Michael Franti & Spearhead continue to bring the good vibes, putting a new twist on touring with their combination music-and-yoga Soulshine Tour 2014. The energetic performer has made a career out of lifting people's spirits through music, and by adding a yoga session to his concerts he's taken the live experience to a new spiritual plane.  Franti is a true showman, and whether he's leading fans through a series of vinyasas or performing favorites like "Stay Human", he creates a mood of love and acceptance at his concerts that make them a truly unforgettable experience.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Oakland-born Michael Franti developed a passion for music and poetry while attending the University of San Francisco. He got his start as a musician in the mid-'80s with the spoken word group the Beatnigs, achieving local notoriety with the project before starting the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy in 1991. The Disposable Heroes' unique fusion of industrial music and hip hop was a hit with critics -- even attracting the attention of U2's Bono, who invited Franti and Co. to join the iconic band's 1992 Zoo TV Tour. Franti's most enduring success was Spearhead, a reggae and funk-influenced fusion band he formed in 1994 with several studio musicians. Beginning with their full-length debut album Home, Michael Franti & Spearhead released a string of empowering, celebratory albums that were accompanied by uplifting concert tours. While Franti has had his brushes with commercial success, including the Top 20 single "Say Hey (I Love You)" in 2008, his real success has been in his ability to build community and dialog around his music. Franti once again delighted fans in 2014 with the announcement of the Soulshine Tour, which incorporates healing yoga sessions into his musical sets.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Michael comes on stage with his guitar and introduces his yoga teacher, a woman from Hawaii. Michael plays while she leads us in yoga poses-- and every once in a while we all break out dancing!"

"It was an awesome performance. So much love and positivity shared throughout the event. Loved how he interacted w/ the audience (running & dancing in the aisles & just plain talking to the audience.)"

"If you have never been to a Franti show - go. Go and see the energy, the fun, and the smiles that are on the faces of every single audience member."

    Fantastic

    by Mexiricansister on 1/12/24Chateau Ste Michelle Winery - Woodinville

    I live in Denver but went to Seattle specifically to see Michael Franti. I was lucky to have a friend there join me. She had a surprise visitor from Idaho. She was able to get a lawn ticket. We sat with her during the amazing opening act SOJA. Then my friend and I went to our seats. One of the best concerts I have been to. Such great energy. I was amazed seeing Michael Franti going into the audience so everyone get see him up close. He and the group got everyone totally into having an amazing time. I loved the Woodinville venue.

    Such a fun concert

    by Michelle on 9/20/23Greek Theatre - Los Angeles

    Always love seeing a concert at The Greek Theater. I knew that I liked Michael Franti's voice, songs, and positive messages but what I didn't know was what a great performer he was. His energy and love were contagious as he ran around the theater in his bare feet. Would highly recommend this concert when he comes to town again

    Perfect show!

    by Candy on 9/18/23Greek Theatre - Los Angeles

    Michael Franti did not disappoint! It was an absolutely amazing concert. We brought our 13 year old twins with us and they loved it as well and said it was very uplifting. We all had an amazing night and can't wait until he tours again.
