Michael Franti Tickets

This was the 8th time we've seen this group this year--and they were awesome again. Michael's voice was true and strong (obviously the recent surgery did him no harm at all--and he looked happier and healthier than last month)! Charine and the guys were fantastic as always. Nice venue, too.

I watched Michael Franti and Spearhead at the National and they were fantastic. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Their energy on stage was incredible and they are all great performers.

We really enjoyed this show. It was our first experience with Michael Franti and we went with friends who were fans. Terrific music, great energy, fun crowd.

This is my second show. He was fabulous even more so than the first time I saw him. His music was great. I enjoyed every second.

This was my first Michael Franti & Spearhead experience, and i was in awe! His voice and energy flow off the stage and truly engage the fans. He rocked!! When they announced Cherine Anderson as the special guest I was impressed- i had heard of her through his album and she owned that stage with her opening!! Loved the way they brought audience up at various times throughout the show...to dance, play. Truly an amazing vibe throughout the evening.

What can I say, I went into this show with extremely lofty and elevated expectations.....and they were met and exceeded! There is so much positive energy at a Franti & Spearhead show. And they continue to "fine-tune" their performances. They rock you hard for several songs, then bring out the stool & acoustic guitar and give you campfire style for a few to catch your breath. Couldn;t have asked for a better show or night of fun!

Prior to the show, I was forwarned that this would be an incredible experience. It was nothing short of it. An incredible, energizing, spiritual, uplifting experience it was! I would embrace the opportunity to see him again in concert. The tickets were also reasonably priced. A performance not to be missed!

everytime I've been to see Michael Franti (this was my third) I come away believeing in the goodness of humankind again. The beats are high, the bass is low, it can feel like a reggae dancehall for lareg portions, which in itself cleanses the soul. the mesage is positive, its conscious. It's healing. And for some reason,t hese folks love Richmond! So it always makes for a special show.

Michael Franti and Spearhead brought their full supply of energy to the show on Sunday night. From the start, with Cherine Anderson warming up the crowd, the fans were there to jump and dance. Once Michael and the band hit the stage, it was turned up to 11. There were many intense momoents where the group energy was about to lift the roof off the theater. Just when Michael had everyone primed, the acoustics and stools came out and let everyone cool down a little. There was a great mix of material from the last couple albums and a few newer songs. The encore of Everybody Ona Move > Yell Fire > Say Hey (I Love You) was the perfect capper. Michael announced before the final song that it was the first time in Spearhead's 15 year history that they had a Top 40 song. Say Hey debuted at 32 last week and is 26 this week. The band put on a great show and the venue was great too. We brought our 2 tween boys and they were surprised to see how many other kids were there. We will definitely catch these guys again whenever we can.

Wow! This was my first time seeing Michael Franti and Spearhead. I was blown away by the energy and positive vibe from the show. The band was tight and the crowd was eating it up. A truly exceptional concert.

Great show as usual for Franti....you always leave smiling:):):)

This is the third time that I have been to a Franti concert. It has been a rockin time each time!

Excellent concert. Venue is fab, though sound mix was not ideal. sounded like one of the speakers was blown within the first 2 songs, didn't have mic up loud enough on Franti. Was excellent concert though!

I see many, many shows a year and this is now my favorite band to see live. Franti stormed the stage with "A Little Bit of Riddim" and rocked straight through for 2-1/2 hours concluding with "Say Hey." This renaissance man didn't miss a beat, swtiched up tempo and guitars more times than I can mention. The time flew by. People of all sizes, shapes, colors and ages were moshing all over the venue. I will make every effort to see all of the shows I can within a 5 state radius and maybe further. You can tell he truly loves what he does and appreciates his fans.

I've seen Spearhead many many times out west but never in my home town...the show at the Norva was great. I hadn't seen them in almost a year because the last few shows I'd seen were pretty much exactly the same. They are mixing things up again and it was fantastic!! It was my sister's bday and I took her, was her first time seeing them and we had so much fun! Thanks guys for a wonderful night!!

Michael won me over. I had never seen him before and he was incredible..Full of energy ..nonstop and had an amazing person...He brought people on stage and had children sing..he stayed and HUGGED the crowd after..... We will see him again and we will bring our 2 boys!

This is the second time that I've seen Michael Franti & Spearhead live, and next time they're in the area, I will definitely check them out again. The first show I went to was about 5 years ago when they came to play at my college. I'm not sure if it was the University setting coupled with the initiation of war in Iraq, but in the middle of the set, he went off for about a half hour on his political opinions. Also, if you have listened to his "Stay Human" album, then you know that about half the tracks are skits expressing his disapproval of the death penalty. So I was very pleasantly surprised when he spent the concert singing and not airing his various points of view (other than what is contained within the lyrics of course).

Michael was smiles and energy as usual. Wasn't sure how he would do after his appendectomy last month but he did not disappoint. I appreciate their positive music.
