Best known for his top 10 Billboard charting hit “Say Hey (I Love You)” Michael Franti, and his band Spearhead, have continued to make chart topping hits with “Sound of Sunshine,” and “I Got You,” among other songs that blend hip hop along with funk, reggae, jazz, folk, and rock- creating a signature sound all his own. Now you can see this globally recognized musician, humanitarian, activist, and award-winning filmmaker revered for his high-energy live shows, up close and personal at The Ridgefield Playhouse summer gala fundraiser. Throughout his multi-decade career, Franti has earned three Billboard No. 1’s.
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 on the American Songwriter Podcast Network features creatives from all walks of life. Deemed a “groundbreaking musician” by Entrepreneur, Franti launched a virtual event revolution in June 2020 with his Stay At Home Concert World Tour, a creation prompted by his first summer in 33 years in which he wasn’t on the road due to the global pandemic.
