Spearhead

Michael Franti Lets the Sunshine In

A Michael Franti & Spearhead show is a spiritual experience. Fans know it. First-timers discover it. There's just something about Franti as a frontman that inspires people. Tall, dreadlocked, dynamic and - just ask the ladies - dreamy, the singer has charisma for miles.

He also has momentum as never before in his two decade-plus career beginning with industrial hard-core hoppers the Beatnigs, then on to the brilliant Disposable Heroes of Hipoprisy to Spearhead.

Michael Franti Pushes Up 'Sound of Sunshine' Release

Thirteen years later, Michael Franti is right back where he started. After releasing several independent albums, the barefoot troubadour and band Spearhead are now signed to Capitol -- the major the act left in 1997 after releasing two albums.
 
"I guess it goes to show you, don't burn any bridges," Franti says with a laugh during a recent tour break in San Francisco. "You always want to be welcomed back."
