August 21, 2012 The massive glacier in this video passes quickly but it's definitely a cool view. The footage was taken over an Alaskan Glacier while Michael Franti was on his 'Do it For Love!' Tour. Maybe when he comes to Big Sky on September 1st he will make a video of himself flying through the trees on the zip-lines!
August 14, 2012 Michael Franti and Spearhead will be performing live at Big Sky for the 2012 Spruce Moose in just over a couple of weeks! We can't wait to hear Michael Franti's hits, 'Say Hey (I love you)' and 'The Sound of Sunshine.' Franti's songs are full of love and inspiration. Following a near death experience, the singer confessed much of his music today is influenced by his gratefulness of every waking moment.
August 13, 2012 2012 Spruce Moose Festival special guests The Whigs just completed their 4th studio album. Enjoy The Company hits stores on September 18th (can't wait for the exclusive live preview at Big Sky Resort!) Frontman Parker Gispert recently sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about the new album. You can check out that interview here AND stream their new song "Summer Heat" in full:
July 25, 2012 It's true, Michael Franti did write "Say Hey (I Love You)" in Woody Harrelson's bathroom. He talks about that experience here, before performing his hit song.
July 25, 2012 Tickets are going fast for the 2012 Spruce Moose Festival happening ON THE MOUNTAIN at Big Sky Resort on Saturday September 1st featuring Michael Franti & Spearhead. Check out this video for "Little Bit Of Riddim".
July 18, 2012 After the bands had packed up after last year's Spruce Moose Festival at Big Sky Resort, I went ziplining for the very first time. You can too.
July 17, 2012 Saturday September 1st is the date for the 2012 Spruce Moose at Big Sky Resort featuring Michael Franti & Spearhead with Special Guests, The Whigs. DETAILS HERE:
I just love this song and this video! I'm going to be watching it non stop until I get to see Michael Franti and Spearhead live at Spruce Moose 2012!
July 6, 2012 Every time I go up to Big Sky, that beautiful, manifest centerpiece calls out to me. I'm talking about Lone Peak, of course. I've often fantasized about what the view must look like from its summit. That can now be an easily achieved reality with the guided Lone Peak Expedition. It runs daily through September 3rd, which means you can take part before the Spruce Moose Festival on Saturday, September 1st!
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.'
June 26, 2012 Michael Franti & Spearhead are our Spruce Moose headliners on the mountain at Big Sky Resort this labor day weekend. If you're not all that familiar with them, here's my ultimate Franti & Spearhead playlist...it was tough, but I narrowed it down to 10 must hear tracks!
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.
