California-born poet, musician and composer, Michael Franti blends hip-hop, funk and reggae together with outspoken political and progressive lyrics. His soulful style and compelling message has led to worldwide appeal, making him not only a million record selling artist, but also a leader in the peace and social justice movement.

All Rebel Rockers Michael Franti and Spearhead's eagerly awaited 2008 release, combines a hybrid dub-infused soul flavor with hard-hitting rock. Having performed with Ben Harper, The Fugees, Dave Matthews, Cypress Hill, Billy Bragg, Seu Jorge, and Matisyahu, Franti has a true appreciation for the eclectic power of music - to move people and incite change. As the name of his almost decade old music festival may suggest, only by harnessing the Power of the Peaceful can we expect to unify the world.
