Michael Franti Brings Genre-Blending Sound to Indianapolis

Michael Franti brings his distinctive genre-blending sound to Indianapolis. As the founder and lead vocalist of Michael Franti & Spearhead, he mixes hip-hop with funk, reggae, jazz, folk, and rock, creating an inclusive, high-energy concert experience.

Longtime listeners will recognize echoes of his earlier work with the industrial-punk Beatnigs and the politically charged Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. Live, Franti balances reflective, socially conscious lyrics with upbeat, danceable grooves that keep the crowd moving and connected.
