Michael Franti & Spearhead — Joy as Radical Act at Red Rocks
Michael Franti — born April 21, 1966 in Oakland, California — has spent four decades making music that insists on human connection, social justice, and the revolutionary power of joy. From his early work with The Beatnigs and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy through Spearhead’s catalog of reggae-influenced, hip-hop-adjacent, folk-infused pop music, Franti has maintained a creative vision built around the idea that music can genuinely change how people feel about themselves and their world. His hits — “Say Hey (I Love You),” “Sound of Sunshine,” “Life Is Better With You,” “I Got You” — are certified feel-good anthems that turn any outdoor venue into a collective celebration.
His live shows are legendary for their warmth, their crowd interaction, and the genuine sense that Michael Franti is the happiest person in any room he inhabits.
At Red Rocks Amphitheatre on a late May Friday evening — the canyon in full spring bloom, the Colorado sky stretching wide above the formations — Michael Franti and Spearhead are going to create something genuinely beautiful.

The Original Wailers — Bob Marley’s Band at Red Rocks

Their presence on the May 29 bill elevates this Friday evening from a Michael Franti concert into something that genuinely connects two generations of music built around joy, spirituality, and the belief that music can heal. The combination of Franti’s contemporary positivity-focused sound and The Wailers’ roots reggae legacy creates a Friday evening at Morrison that spans 50 years of music dedicated to the same essential human values.
