  • Power to the Peaceful Festival

    Michael Franti and Guerrilla Managment, producers of San Francisco's
    Power to the Peaceful Festival today announced that the anticipated
    2011 event will be rescheduled for 2012. The festival will return
    annually thereafter.

    After 12 years, the free music, arts and action event has grown into
    an international destination experience incorporating a weekend of
    concerts, yoga, dj's, action sports, environmental & social justice
    organizations and workshops with last year's event attended by more
    than 80,000.

    In 2012 we will be transforming the festival into a celebration of the
    multi-cultural heritage of the Bay Area, returning to Golden Gate
    Park, bigger and better than ever.

    "In this time of great change in the world, I can't think of a better
    way to celebrate peace than by bringing the music, food and culture of
    our diverse community all into one place. After 12 years of staging
    the festival, we've decided to take a breather in 2011 so we can put
    all of our energy into make the festival the most inspiring it can be
    in 2012!"

    Power to the Peaceful is a 501c3 non-profit organization who's
    mission is to inspire people to bring about peace by giving back to
    the world and our communities.





  • Michael Joins Carlos Santana for the 2011 Sound of Collective Consciousness Tour

    Michael & Spearhead will be joining music legend Carlos Santana and The Santana Band on Santana's Sound of Collective Consciousness Tour this summer. The tour launches August 25th in Seattle with a concert at the White River Amphitheater. SOCC tour highlights include stops in Vancouver, San Antonio, San Diego, and Reno.

    "It's not often you get to meet one of your heroes, let alone go on tour with one. Carlos' music has always been about the inclusion of all peoples and cultures. He has inspired millions around the world, including me, to seek their highest good. To be honest, I can't think of a better party for the body and soul than a Santana-Spearhead concert,"
    says Franti.
