Biography

Blending hip hop, funk, reggae, jazz, flk and rock, Michael Franti & Spearhead are an American band from San Francisco, California.

Forming in 1994, Michael Franti formed a new band with a few studio musicians after the dissolution of his previous band, Disposable Heroes of Hypocrisy. Their first album “Home” in 1994 drew inspiration from funk and soul music, and a mere three years later released their second album, “Chocolate Supa Highway.” The sophomore album had a changeup not only with the band members, but also with their sound, having more of a reggae and hip hop sound than the previous record. Upcoming Events Bend Next Month.

Having gained a large following through their extensive touring and alternative media, the band continued to find success, especially with their lyrics speaking about so many relevant global events and issues. Franti even played three different events to commemorate President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

Michael Franti is a musician, filmmaker and humanitarian who is recognized as a pioneering force in the music industry. Long known for his globally conscious lyrics, powerful performances, and dynamic live shows, Franti has continually been at the forefront of lyrical activism, using his music as a positive force for change. Upcoming Events Bend This Month.

“I make music because I believe it can change people's lives and make a difference in the world,” enthuses Franti, “music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.” He and his band Spearhead, known for their authentic and uplifting music, have found global success with multi-platinum songs like "Say Hey (I Love You)”, the chart breaking 2010 release of The Sound Of Sunshine. Franti and his band guarantee a show that will be thought provoking as well as energetic.
