Michael Franti Metropolis Montreal

By: Captain Morgan

Maybe it was the Obama effect or just the super chill vibe at The Metropolis but Michael Franti & Spearhead just killed it.

Why is Franti & Spearhead the best $26 I’ve spent on a ticket? These guys can play. Passionate, intense, super-talented and intelligent. A social message wrapped around dub infused soul with hard hitting dub rock. It was the slap and tickle of entertaining AND delivering a message that so many artists fail to deliver. I left the show feeling good about the world…and had a blast. Power to the peaceful!

Smitty thinks bass and drum is the cornerstone of life and the force behind the earth rotating on it’s axis. Carl Young (Bass) and Manas Itiene (drums) make it seem like Smitty knows what he’s talking about.
I shouldn’t be surprised. Smitty knows a good funk-soul storm trooper when he hears one and these guys kept it tight, loud and syncopated. Combined with Raleigh J Neil (keyboard) + Dave Shul + Franti (vocals/Guitar), Michal Franti & Spearhead in concert is musically divers driving heavy overdubs of dance hall to soulful acoustic numbers that made me want to hit the St Ignatius studio and lay a patch.

Big up to Franti and spearhead…and Obama (Spearhead fan)

Look forward to the next show at Nokia Times Square Theatre NYC.
