Michael Franti has long been known for his electrifying live show, marked by a genuine openheartedness, a commitment to communication and a greater sense of community. “The people who come to see us seem to love the experience of the party as well as the message and the music,” he says.

Michael Franti is the creator and lead singer of Michael Franti & Spearhead. The Bay Area born Franti has been bringing our world exceptionally powerful, deeply felt music 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.

Michael Franti & Spearhead performed a sold-out show in Mancos, Colorado in September of 2008 and performed again at Three Springs in 2010. Michael Franti has a great affinity for Southwestern Colorado and his repeated returns to the Durango area reflects that affinity!
