Michael Franti visited a bar in Austin last year called Aussie's. He didn't just drop by, he played beach volleyball until around 3 am and then grabbed a guitar and had a little sing along with the remaining patrons. Who else thinks we totally need a beach volleyball court at a bar in Bozeman by the way?

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 m

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.

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!

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.

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. Re

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.
