Michael Franti is a globally recognized musician, activist, and award-winning filmmaker celebrated for his high-energy live shows, inspiring music, worldwide philanthropic efforts, and unshakable optimism. Over his multi-decade career, Franti has earned three Billboard No. 1 hits with the uplifting anthems “Sound of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You),” and “I Got You,” along with six Top 30 Hot AC singles, 10 Top 25 AAA singles, and three Billboard Top 5 Rock Albums. His 13th studio album, Big Big Love, released in November 2023, debuted in the Top 5 on the iTunes Pop Chart behind Taylor Swift. Praised by American Songwriter as “an energizing batch of songs that spotlight the common threads that connect us,” the album features 17 tracks co-written by Franti, showcasing his signature tenacity, inclusiveness, and optimism.
In 2025, Franti will embark on the Welcome To The Family Tour, a large summer tour across the US that celebrates connection, unity, and community. Additionally, Michael is set to release his brand-new album this year, Welcome To The Family, continuing his legacy of creating music that uplifts and inspires. It is slated to be released on March 28th, and will be his 14th studio album, featuring 13 incredible new songs!
At the end of 2024, Michael & Spearhead concluded their worldwide Togetherness Tour, performing in over 90 markets, including iconic venues like Red Rocks, The Greek Theatre, and Pier 17, along with limited runs in the UK, Europe, and Australia. The tour featured a diverse lineup of special guests, including Stephen Marley, Trevor Hall, Niko Moon, Citizen Cope, Trombone Shorty, and more.
When not on tour, the Bay Area native resides in Bali, where he owns Soulshine Bali, a 32-room 5-star boutique hotel in Ubud. Focused on joy through wellness and music, the hotel offers unique retreat opportunities, accommodations, and special events. This spring, Soulshine Bali will expand with the addition of The Sanctuary, five new luxury rooms designed to elevate the guest experience.
Franti also fosters community offstage through his wish-granting nonprofit, Do It For The Love, which brings individuals with life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges to concerts around the world. To date, the organization has fulfilled over 3,500 wishes and touched the lives of more than 15,000 people, continuing to inspire hope and connection worldwide.

Bombargo

Bombargo is a Canadian based international touring band that drops a vibrant splash of soul over their distinctive ‘vintage-pop’ sound. Well known for bringing unrivaled energy to the stage with sing-along anthems, double-brother harmonies, and a powerful message that combined make for one of the most captivating live shows ever! Frontman Nathan Thoen's passionate conviction and ‘Jagger-like’ dance moves even impressed billionaire and music industry icon Sir Richard Branson, quoting “I haven’t seen this type of energy since The Rolling Stones!” - and he would know, having personally signed The Rolling Stones to Virgin Records.
The band began with lead singer Nathan Thoen and guitarist Spencer Chilliak after the two spontaneously met and drove 16 hours to attend Sasquatch Music Festival where they became inspired to start a band. The duo wrote their first song ‘Let It Grow’ during their very first writing session and as part of Bombargo’s debut EP ‘Back on Main’ which would go on to be included in ‘The Top 10 Best Saskatchewan Albums of 2015’ by SaskMusic. This further inspired them to continue writing, touring, and release their first full-length album titled ‘We Are Bombargo’. The group has since evolved into a 7-piece touring band adding Nathan’s brother Anthony Thoen on guitar, additional brothers Matt and Sammy Folkersen on keys and bass respectively, Connor Newton on saxophone, and Niall Cubbon on drums.
Bombargo went on to receive massive acclaim when pop star icon Taylor Swift added their 2018 single ‘Mr. No Good’ to her Spotify Playlist titled ‘Songs Taylor Loves’ alongside mega artists including Ed Sheeran, Camilla Cabello, and Kendrick Lamar. As the only unsigned band on this star-studded playlist, Bombargo was featured on CBC’s the Q, NME, Exclaim, Fashion, Noisey, People, and Billboard. This success was followed up by the release of their single ‘Oxygen’, which pushed Bombargo into the Canadian Hot AC Top 40 Charts for the first time in the fall of 2019. The band also made its US touring debut in late 2019 with their 33 date ‘North American Dream Tour’ which kicked off with Bombargo playing the sold-out Roughriders Labour Day Classic Half-Time Show to over 33,000 people. The band’s US debut at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, CA gained heavy press coverage including a raving article in Billboard Magazine.
Bombargo performed on the 2020 Okeechobee Festival Main Stage in Florida, with over 40,000 in attendance and joined the Okeechobee PoWow Super Jam to close the festival. In August of 2020 the band landed a ‘most excellent’ cameo in the hollywood blockbuster “Bill & Ted 3: Face The Music”. Bombargo’s most recent album ‘nebula.’ reached its Kickstarter fundraising goal in under 7 hours and released in June of 2022. The band has since toured America in 2022 completing their 27 date “Goodtime Guarantee” headlining tour, and was back in 2023 for their “Surfin’ in The USA” tour. In April of 2024 Bombargo released their latest single, “Peices of My Heart” in advance of their “Peices of My Heart Tour” across North America playing their own headline dates, festivals, and opening for artists including Michael Franti and Spearhead, Trevor Hall, Stephen Marley and Citizen Cope. Bombargo has garnered over 10 Million DSP streams to date, and has received over 1 Million views on YouTube. There’s no doubt Bombargo will continue spreading “The Goodtime Guarantee™” for years to come and look forward to what the future brings!
