Hello Listeners!

In this episode, we had the opportunity to have a conversation with Michael Franti

Michael Franti is an American Musician, Activist, and Humanitarian set to make 2025 a landmarkyear with the release of his highly anticipated 14th studio album, “Welcome to the Family” . Franti’s career is defined by his ability to turn hardship into hope, fostering unity through music, activism, and philanthropy. Whether on stage, at his Bali retreat, or through his foundation, his purpose remains the same: to bring people together, lift spirits, and remind us all that we are part of something bigger.

“Welcome to the Family” is a record about finding connection in the midst of uncertainty, leaning into the love that surrounds us, and remembering that, no matter where we come from, we are all part of something bigger. The lead single, “Break Up With Everything,” captures that sentiment perfectly, encouraging listeners to let go of anything no longer serving them. With its stripped-down acoustic vibe, the song has quickly become a fan favorite. To celebrate the release, Franti & Spearhead will hit the road for the Welcome to the Family Tour, a nationwide summer trek focused on spreading unity, connection, and positivity through music. The tour kicks off in May 2025, with stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pier 17, and more. Known for his immersive performances, Franti transforms his concerts into celebrations of togetherness. Franti is preparing for the third voyage of Soulshine at Sea, his immersive music and wellness cruise. Soulshine at Sea 3 will set sail in November 2025, featuring an all-star lineup including Dispatch, Allen Stone, Hirie, Tropidelic, and more. The four-day experience blends live music, wellness offerings from HIIT classes to yoga, inspiring speakers, and community. The event sold out a full year in advance, underscoring the deep connection and excitement surrounding Franti’s extended musical family. Beyond music, Franti continues his humanitarian work through Soulshine Bali, a forty-room, five-star boutique retreat in Ubud, Indonesia, and Do It For The Love, the nonprofit he co-founded with his wife. The organization has granted over 3,500 live music wishes, touching more than 15,000 lives for individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges.
