Michael Franti & Spearhead brings their unique blend of powerful reggae-rock to the Arlington Theatre on Thursday, October 8th.
The Bay-Area born Franti is a very big man who has always dared to say very big things through his joyous and passionate music during an unusually diverse and highly impressive career, which has already spanned more than 20 years. Yet for all the wide-ranging, consistently excellent work, what's most impressive about Michael Franti as a recording artist and live performer is his ability to inspire.
Consider Franti's most recent musical masterpiece, All Rebel Rockers, an album featuring the legendary production team of Sly & Robbie that reinforces his place as a global force and a true musician of his time. The first single, "Say Hey (I Love You)" is fast becoming one of the biggest of Franti's career. It's one of the most added records at multiple radio formats: Top 40, Hot AC and Alternative and the music video has already exceeded 1 million views on YouTube.
Throughout his entire career, Franti has continued to cultivate an extremely dedicated global grassroots following. He's earned his fans, one winning concert at a time. In every way, Franti has become a modern day troubadour spreading the word with equal passion, whether he's playing to a packed theater in America, Australia or Europe, or simply giving an impromptu performance in a war-torn corner of the world.
