Renowned singer/songwriter and musician Michael Franti is gearing up for his highly anticipated 2024 'Togetherness Tour.' Known for his uplifting and positive songs such as 'Sound of Sunshine' and 'Say Hey (I Love You),' Franti's music aims to spread love, hope, and unity among his diverse audience.
Franti's live performances are characterized by high energy and a sense of togetherness, where he strives to bring people from all walks of life together through the power of music. Describing his upcoming tour, Franti promises a mix of intense, rocking moments and intimate acoustic performances that connect with the audience on a personal level.
Reflecting on his own experiences growing up as a biracial child in San Francisco, Franti emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and belonging in his music. He recalls how attending concerts as a young boy provided him with a sense of connection and understanding, inspiring him to create music that resonates with others.
Franti's recent album 'Big Big Love' reflects his journey of healing and resilience, particularly in the face of personal challenges such as losing his father to COVID-19. Through his music, Franti found solace and a way to navigate through grief, emphasizing the importance of emotional release and self-expression.
When not touring, Franti resides in Indonesia with his wife, Sara, where they run a unique yoga retreat hotel called Soulshine Bali. Far from a traditional retreat center, Soulshine Bali offers a holistic experience that combines yoga, live music, and wellness activities to promote personal growth and connection.
In addition to his music career, Franti hosts the Soulshine at Sea cruise, a wellness-focused event that features yoga, meditation, and live music performances. Through these initiatives, Franti continues to spread his message of unity and positivity, encouraging others to embrace their true selves and find joy in life.
As he looks forward to the 'Togetherness Tour,' Franti remains committed to using his music as a tool for healing and bringing people together in a world that often feels divided. With a career spanning over three decades, Franti's passion for music and his dedication to fostering a sense of community shine through in every performance.
