Michael Franti has been many things since he began his musical career in 1986 as part of the industrial punk band The Beatnigs. He’s been a composer, musician, poet, activist, healer and most recently a yoga retreat owner, all the while conveying his message of hope and unity all around the world.
It was a clear night, still a dose of summer heat in the sky and the people came strolling into Tempe’s Marque Theatre to see Michael Franti and Spearhead perform. All ages from teenagers to middle-agers, allthere with one thing in common….to feel the love. That was the vibe the entire night. Dancing, playful, intoxicated….happy people.
