A good way to find out the popularity of a song is to do a quick YouTube search for covers of the song. If there are more than four, you can bet it's pretty popular. Our Spruce Moose 2012 headliner, Michael Franti, has countless of his songs covered on YouTube. We had so much fun watching them we wanted to share what we thought were the best ones right here.
July 6, 2012 Are you curious what a world class musician gets up to in his free time? With the help of Instagram you can see all the cool stuff Michael Franti enjoys on a daily basis! Or at least what he chooses to share. The photos leave me wishing I could spend a relaxed week with this barefooted musician and visit these foreign locations! Check out our live updating gallery of Michael's Instagram inside.
I hope to see some if not all of these dance moves up at Spruce Moose on September 1st while we are all grooving to Michael Franti and Spearhead! I can't think of a better song to spontaneously bust a move to then 'Say Hey.'
I've spent many years dabbling in acoustic guitar and in my short repertoire is a few bars of Stairway to Heaven, a couple of Blink 182 songs and Green Day's 'Good Riddance.' While I enjoy playing I can't ever seem to stay consistent with the dabbling. This video tutorial for Michael Franti's 'Say Hey' makes me want to go dig the guitar out again.
