'The Sound of Sunshine' is the upcoming seventh studio album by Michael Franti and Spearhead due to be released on May 16th.
USA Today has hailed it as full of "Festival-friendly reggae pop grooves and radiant hope-filled songs." and it is arguably the most cohesive, romantic and life-affirming album that the duo have ever made.
After their 2008 album 'All Rebel Rockers' Franti was hospitalized for a ruptured appendix which gave the artists plenty of time to pen the tracks.
Crystal Bowersox has been added to the line-up for the 12th Annual Power to the Peaceful Festival (PTTP) in San Francisco on September 11th. Created and hosted by Michael Franti, the festival will take place at Speedway Meadow in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and is one of the nation’s largest free annual music festivals with over 50,000 attendees, featuring a variety of international musicians, visual artists and over 200 exhibitors and green vendors.
