Michael Franti and Spearhead at Folsom Prison

[@faithinwonderland6589]

I lost my mom 5 days ago and Michael’s music has gotten me through this darkness. Grab the ones you Love Close. From my ♥️to whoever’s reading this today♥️

[@marysalisbury9270]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@ayaanu9840]

I cried watching this. At times while watching this, I felt paralyzed with joy and pure gratitude for this Divine being, Michael for loving humanity this way. This reignited my passion to support inmates as an ally towards recovery and healing. Inmates are this lost broken, misguided kids who’s environments did not nurture them. I live walking free, yet very much have been a prisoner to my childhood. We people with our physical freedom can be a great source of change to our brothers and sisters who got caught up in the system. I am now Franti’s biggest fan for this act from his heart!!!!💜💜

[@momee2chrisncam]

This is one of the most truly positive things of beauty I have ever witnessed!

[@mutualpeaceWayne]

Shoutout to whatever prison this is !! Much respect. Here in 2021, I’m sure these guys remember this like yesterday.

[@funonutube100]

This man and his music is such a powerful healing force!!! You can feel his heart in his voice and the lyrics. It's people just like Micheal who will change the world and bring us together! Hugh LOVE and RESPECT to you Micheal. The world is a much better place because you are in it!!

Thanks Franti and Spearhead. There is no doubt that the Spirit of Love flows through you. Keep up the great work. Love you!

[@skidmarkymark]

I've seen Michael Franti live four times and know how much joy each performance brought into my life. I can only imagine what it meant for the guys there.

[@sherlynmcdonald1089]

Michael Franti...I love you with all my heart and all that is within me Sir !🥰When God created you...He created a Masterpiece ! May God be the glory!!! 🙏🙌Continuous blessings to you and your family!♥

[@simonevanschijndel]

Wow, he starts with Pray for Grace which is my favourite and ends whith the best lyrics from Bob Marley, Rasta man chant! Fly away home to Zion. One bright morning when my work is over I will fly away home...It made me cry. This brought so much light in for me, think what it did for the people who where there. This is the way to do it. Bring back the light!

[@dcmlaw]

Let's hear it for the warden and his staff for permitting this.

[@brianlinville439]

me too!

[@ginemclaurin632]

That was BEAUTIFUL.......................

[@lisakiehn6562]

I remember when he played at the prison, and raised the vibes in town so hard. That weekend we took the children to SF to join him at the children's Thanksgiving concert. It was a fantastic week. 16 years later here I am again, and the kids + grandkids are still grooving along with me, to the love vibes. xo magic Michael...

[@dkdowntown]

Fire @ 22:10 Man, it's hoppin'. This man is all about spreading love, no front, no pretenses. I've met him while we where playing on a ropeswing in a river, this guy is a man's man and just wants to share his love with everyone he meets wether it's through music, a hug, ropeswinging, or taking the less fortunate on tour with him. I love you Michael and Spearhead.

[@aliciaklass]

i WISH ALL PEOPLE THINK ABOUT HUMANITY THIS WAY DAVID. I knew MICHEAL FRANTI by chance when i was a in a deep state of emotional love and since then i follow all his news. Glad you had the chance to meet him one day. I'm sure there were lots of hugs involved. Really David, if people understand the power of LOVE , there would be no more wars. Take care and keep believing in the power of WORDS, MUSIC, LAUGHTHER, SHARING AND ABOVE ALL LISTENING AND LENDING AN EAR TO TELL THE STORY :)

[@lilithrogers5204]

Oh, lucky you David....I see this was a while back but I'm sure you're still enjoying the memory..

[@jenisunfruit]

Isn't Michael such a wonderful artist? Hot damn man, we need more beautiful souls like this! He is fantastic! :-D

[@CindieOgata]

What the world needs now is A LOT MORE MICHAEL FRANTI and SPEARHEAD . . . go music and movement and happiness!!

[@AYoung1287]

HOW AWESOME!! Michael believes in equality of all people its amazing!! What a great man with so much wisdom!! I love this band!!!

[@lindatanner3255]

I start my mornings with, "I pray for grace." Although I love every one of your songs, that's my new favorite. You are the best therapy for me. Thank you and your band from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

[@lorenzacecconi2118]

[@mablesyrup1571]

No words can describe how awesome this concert was!!! Just exquisite talent and incredible energy!

[@rurugby]

This is just absolutely fabulous. So, so different than the much angrier Michael Franti of the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.

[@lokivid]

perfect song. pain, and release of joy in that room. Wow.

[@rpags226]

seen 1000 concerts -first time i saw him had no idea who the hell hes was ----hes the REAL DEAL had the crowd jumping and rocking--if you get the chance i highly recommend-y check him out

[@katrinab494]

The first song he sings, "Pray for Grace", the last few lines "Grace finds beauty in ugly things / Grace finds goodness in everything" are sampled from the song Grace by U2. Thought that was cool bc my dad was a mega fan of both Michael Franti and U2. Michael is such a great performer

[@Boombah100]

"So today we ALL pray for grace."

[@marryellenmonahan5585]

You have no idea how happy this has made me! I saw him back in the day OG Coachella.. I felt like I was jumping to the moon when I saw Michael and Spearhead. Phenomenal! Get your freak on !❤😊
