About Michael Franti

Michael Franti is a globally recognized musician, activist, and award-winning filmmaker celebrated for his high-energy live shows, inspiring music, worldwide philanthropic efforts, and unshakable optimism. Over his multi-decade career, Franti has earned three Billboard No. 1 hits with the uplifting anthems “Sound of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You),” and “I Got You,” along with six Top 30 Hot AC singles, 10 Top 25 AAA singles, and three Billboard Top 5 Rock Albums. His 13th studio album, Big Big Love, released in November 2023, debuted in the Top 5 on the iTunes Pop Chart behind Taylor Swift. Praised by American Songwriter as “an energizing batch of songs that spotlight the common threads that connect us,” the album features 17 tracks co-written by Franti, showcasing his signature tenacity, inclusiveness, and optimism.

Toward the end of 2024 and start of ‘25, Michael Franti & Spearhead concluded their worldwide Togetherness Tour, performing in over 90 markets, including iconic venues like Red Rocks, The Greek Theatre, and Pier 17, along with limited runs in the UK, Europe, and Australia. The tour featured a diverse lineup of special guests, including Stephen Marley, Trevor Hall, Niko Moon, Citizen Cope, Trombone Shorty, and more.

Now, Franti is set to embark on a spring tour across the US, kicking off May 22 with a return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre. He is also preparing to release new music later next month, continuing his legacy of creating songs that uplift, connect, and inspire audiences around the world.

When not on tour, the Bay Area native resides in Bali, where he co-owns Soulshine Bali Resort and Retreat, a 40-room five-star boutique hotel nestled among 700-year-old rice fields in Ubud. A playground for the soul, the resort draws international wellness teachers and retreat leaders from around the world, offering guests the chance to book personal retreats, immersive wellness experiences, accommodations, and special events. Michael and his wife Sara also host their own signature Soulrocker Retreats. A week of live music, soul circles, yoga, and Balinese adventure designed to leave guests more connected and more alive.

Franti also fosters community offstage through his wish-granting nonprofit, Do It For The Love, which he co-founded with his wife Sara Agah Franti, a former ER nurse whose background in healing is woven into the heart of the organization's mission of creating hope and healing through live music. Do It For The Love brings individuals with life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges to concerts around the world. To date, the organization has fulfilled over 3,500 wishes and touched the lives of more than 15,000 people, continuing to inspire hope and connection worldwide.

AboutWheeland Brothers 



Blending SoCal surf rock with reggae, hip hop, acoustic pop, and whatever else feels good, The Wheeland Brothers have always lived by a simple rule: each new song must pass. They call it “The Hideaway Test.”


Taking new tunes to their hidden surf camp on the California coast, brothers Travis and Nate strip everything back to its essence – just an acoustic guitar, ukulele and sunset harmonies beside a crackling beach bonfire. If the “depth of a good time” hits home, the song passes. It’s a philosophy that has guided their music from the very beginning—and now, as the band enters its most ambitious chapter yet, that test matters more than ever.


After years of building a loyal following through millions of streams, SiriusXM staples like No Shoes Radio and Radio Margaritaville, and a reputation for barefoot, high-energy live shows, The Wheeland Brothers are stepping into 2026 with a renewed creative focus and a major release plan.


The band is set to launch their next era with the new single “Sidelines,” the first release in an aggressive rollout that will finally deliver the steady stream of music fans have been waiting for. Following “Sidelines,” the band plans to release a new single approximately every six weeks over the next 18 months—marking the most consistent and expansive release schedule of their career.


At its core, “Sidelines” captures a feeling that’s increasingly hard to ignore. As Travis explains, “it’s easy to spend life waiting — waiting for the right moment, the right change, for the world to somehow sort itself out. The track leans into the absurdity of modern life, where we chase validation, quote inspiration we don’t always live by, and let algorithms shape our perspective while the sun keeps setting whether we notice or not. In that sense, the song becomes more than just a release—it’s a reminder. There’s no rewind button. Don’t live on the sidelines. Stay human. Step back into the day and take ownership of your own life.”


That momentum has already been building on the road. The Wheeland Brothers recently toured in support of Niko Moon on his American Palm Tour, bringing their signature blend of sun-soaked harmonies and feel-good energy to audiences across the country. They’ve also continued to make their mark on the festival circuit, with appearances at Tortuga Music Festival, Reggae Rise Up Florida, and Barefoot Festival cementing their place at the intersection of coastal, reggae, country, and alternative pop-influenced lifestyle music.


Looking ahead, the band will join the lineup for the Sublime Cruise 2026, further aligning themselves with the genre-defining artists who helped shape their sound. They


are also preparing to headline their own Summer 2026 tour, bringing their music directly to the beach towns, bars, and coastal venues that inspired it all.


At the core of everything remains the same ethos that started it all. Inspired by the rhythms of the ocean and artists like Bob Marley, Sublime, and Jack Johnson, the brothers continue to craft songs that reflect balance, presence, and connection. From early fan favorites like “Toast to the Coast” and “Safe Side” to the new wave of releases ahead, their music offers a roadmap to a mindset—one grounded in simplicity, positivity, and the pursuit of something real.


With a new chapter unfolding, more music than ever on the horizon, and a growing presence on stages across the country, The Wheeland Brothers aren’t just riding the wave—they’re creating their own.
