ABOUT MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD:
Michael Franti is a globally recognized musician, humanitarian, activist, and award-winning
filmmaker revered for his high-energy live shows, inspiring music, devotion to health and
wellness, worldwide philanthropic efforts, and the power of optimism. Throughout his multi-decade career, Franti has earned three Billboard No. 1’s with triumphantly hopeful hits “Sound
of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You)” and “I Got You,” as well as six Top 30 Hot AC singles,
nine Top 25 AAA Singles, and three Billboard Top 5 Rock Albums. “I Got You,” the lead single
from his latest album Work Hard And Be Nice, marked Franti’s first No. 1 in nearly 10 years and
landed on NPR’s “Most Popular Songs of 2020,” while the music video boasts over 1.3 million
views since its release. Michael Franti & Spearhead’s latest single “Good Day For A Good Day”

Michael Franti & Spearhead embarked on the inaugural five-day Soulshine at Sea cruise Nov. 3-
7, 2021 sailing from Miami, Fla. to Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. Soulshine At Sea included two
Michael Franti & Spearhead shows, over 20 live bands, and DJ sets, 10+ yoga and fitness classes,
inspiring speakers, live “Stay Human” podcast tapings, and uniquely curated activities hosted by
Michael himself and other special guests. Guests also had access to healthy menu options
including vegan offerings around the clock, an onboard juice bar, cooking demos, and more.
Soulshine At Sea is returning for Year 2, Nov. 4-8, 2023 setting sail from Miami to Costa Maya,

With sustainability and the environment top of mind, in 2021 Franti announced a pledge to join
partner REVERB’s Music Climate Revolution, to offset the carbon footprint of all their tours
moving forward. This began on the road in Colorado with Franti & Spearhead’s Good Day For A
Good Day Weekend from June 4-6th, including one show in Vail, CO followed by three shows at
Red Rocks Amphitheater. To keep the good times rolling, Spearhead’s Good Day For A Good
Day Tour kicked off August 2021 and included 20 summer shows in the U.S with co-headline
dates from Trombone Shorty, The Revivalists, and Young The Giant plus several sold-out shows
and support from Of Good Nature. Alongside the release of his new album, the band will be
going on a coast-to-coast tour through the Spring and Summer of 2022, followed by 13 EU/UK
shows at the top of 2023. Tickets are on sale now at MichaelFranti.com.
In January 2019, Franti released his self-directed documentary Stay Human, which won an array
of awards at film festivals worldwide and influenced his writing for his album Stay Human Vol.
II (Thirty Tigers), which debuted at No. 1 on both the Americana and Independent Album charts
and received critical acclaim from USA Today, Billboard, Associated Press, and Paste.
Influenced by the film, Franti’s Stay Human podcast presented by Gibson features creatives from
all walks of life, with new episodes available each week.
Franti continues to foster community both on and off stage with a wish-granting non-profit, Do It
