#Portsmouth #Norfolk 5/28 | Michael Franti & Spearhead @ nTelos Wireless Pavilion
, Posted by CEO at 2:04 PM
with The Wailers
Michael Franti & Spearhead is Franti’s newest band. His entire musical career has slowly but surely built an extremely dedicated global grass roots following, earning his fans one concert at a time. As a teenager, Franti’s life was profoundly changed by the music and the message of Bob Marley and the Wailers. Through Franti’s appreciation of Bob Marley, he found bands with a reggae influence like the Police and, especially, The Clash, artists who made socially engaging music alongside more personal songs and still made you dance.
The Wailers along with Bob Marley sold more than 250 million records worldwide. The lineup revolves around Aston “Family Man” Barrett who is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest bass players and performed on all of those unforgettable performances by Bob Marley & The Wailers from the seventies. One of the last, great reggae institutions, The Wailers refuse to live off past glories. That’s because Family Man represents tried and trusted roots authenticity and, along with the Wailers, injects fresh excitement into a show that continues to attract enthusiastic audiences from around the world.
