Watch Michael Franti & Spearhead on ‘LIVE WITH KELLY & RYAN’

A70A9960

MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD-led by the socially and environmentally conscious singer, songwriter and guitarist–are set to perform their latest single, the positive and uplifting “Summertime Is In Our Hands,” on the nationally syndicated talk show “LIVE WITH KELLY & RYAN,”  Thursday, June 8. This appearance comes as they return to New York on their “Love Out Loud” World Tour with a show on June 9 at The Paramount in Huntington, NY and June 10 at The Playstation Theater in New York City.

 

MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD released a joyous, positive and uplifting video for “Summertime Is In Our Hands” over the Memorial Day Weekend.  Filmed in Bali and directed by Franti, the video brings to life a vibrant story about enjoying every moment with a heartening plot twist towards the end. Check out the video here:

The song–off his most recent and ninth studio album, SOULROCKER

(Fantasy Records)–carries very meaningful inspiration for Franti as it was written when his son was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease. As a result of the diagnosis, they grew closer, valuing their time. The feeling is “summer is whenever, the memories last,” says Franti. “Live your life to the fullest, even in the darkest hour.” A mini-documentary about the “Summertime Is In Our Hands” video and the Do It For The Love organization–the wish-granting non-profit co-founded by Franti and his wife Sara that brings people living with life-threatening illnesses, children with severe challenges, and wounded veterans to live concerts–has also been released. Watch the moving mini-documentary here.
