We got the news today that Michael Franti will be headlining this year's Band Together Fundraiser at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh. The event will be on May 22, 2010.
Michael is now touring with John Mayer and is slated to appear at Bonnaroo in June. His platinum hit song, "Say Hey!", is featured on the soundtrack from the movie "Valentine's Day." We've been following Michael since we first saw him at the Asheville Music Jamboree and his current fame is well deserved.
I suggest that you consider buying a VIP ticket when they go on sale. The proceeds from this year's concert will benefit The Step Up Ministry, an interfaith community that partners with over 500 program participants each year in the shared goal of self-sufficiency (stable job, stable home, stable family).
Andy Cox and I took these shots the last two times we saw Michael Franti and Spearhead. Watch my blog for more news.
