Michael Franti & Spearhead on September 8 bringing their blend of hip hop, funk, reggae, jazz and rock back to Bend for the fifth straight year of summer fun with their Love Out Loud Tour. Last year Michael Franti released his ninth studio album, Soul Rocker, to critical acclaim.

Franti’s unyielding belief in the power of music and message is what keeps us coming back for more—a summer evening of love and positivity. “…music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.” Michael Franti
