Michael Franti & Spearhead, Calgary Folk Fest

I went to this years Calgary Folk Fest to see Michael Franti & Spearhead. They were supposed to play last years folk fest but because Michael was suffering from a burst Appendix his appearance was cancelled. Being the nice guy he is he comes back to make up the gig when he really didn't have to.








He was promoting his soon to be album coming out September 21, 2010 called the Sound of Sunshine so we got to enjoy some new songs such as Shake It and the Sound of Sunshine.









My favourite song was Everyone Deserves Music, as he seemed to preform it faster then he recorded it and it really seemed to step the already great song up a notch in a live situation.











He brought a bunch of kids on the stage to sing Say Hey (I Love You) which was cool and even had a wedding proposal on the stage. Overall amazing concert and I wound highly recommend that anyone has the chance check him out.
