| Concert Description -- Franti has been bringing our world exceptionally powerful, deeply felt music under a variety of names in a wide range of genres for twenty years. From the intense punk rock of the Beatnigs, to the deeply political rap he made with the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy to his joyful and meaningful modern soul music with Spearhead, and now as Michael Franti & Spearhead, this still young man has released an impressive series of recordings that have vividly reflected his status as a musical citizen of this world. "Say Hey (I Love You)" is fast becoming one of the biggest singles of Franti's career. Through his entire musical career to date, Franti has continues to slowly, but surely build an extremely dedicated global grass roots following. He's done it with a new spin on an old fashioned way. He's earned his fans, one winning concert at a time. As a teenager, Franti's life was profoundly changed by the music and message of Bob Marley and the Wailers. "I first heard him when I was 15," Franti remembers. "He was calling for world unity ("One Love") and his music opened up my world. In fact, I was in Canada with my family for a year, and somehow I got tickets to see Bob Marley live and I was so excited. I still have the scrapbook from when I was a kid and there's that front page of the music section talking about his death. What a loss for the world." Through Franti's appreciation of Bob Marley, he got turned on to bands that had a reggae influence.
