One of my favorite bands, Counting Crows, are in the midst of one of the summer’s most exciting tours: The Saturday Night Rebel Rockers Traveling Circus & Medicine Show.The Traveling Circus features Michael Franti & Spearhead, and Augustana along with Counting Crows in a very unique setup. Rather than each band playing their respective set, [...]

I had so much fun at the 10th annual Power To The Peaceful gathering this weekend! If you're in the Bay Area, be sure to check out the 100% FREE people-powered event next year. Here's a few of the many photos I captured of the concerts... Ziggy Marley lookin' too cool for school at PTTP 2008: Ziggy sang songs from his 1st solo album Dragonfly as well as the Bob Marley tunes, "Redemption Song"...

Michael Franti & Spearhead may not have Azeem on board anymore, but the new album features new up-and-coming rebel rockers plus the Riddim Twins themselves, Sly and Robbie. When I last wrote about the upcoming new album, All Rebel Rockers, I was swooning over the warm reggae vibe pulsing from the new "All I Want Is You" video. And, judging from the tracklist and guest artists, I was anticipat...

What is music to you?If music was imagery, what would it look like?Music can torture terrorists and enemies into speaking up. Has music ever caused you to speak up?

I wish I could come up with stuff to write about more often here but I'm afraid I'm more of a visual person rather than a writer. I can listen to music all day long but if you ask me to describe it or explain how it moves me I'm usually at a loss. Every now and then I can come up with the words to match my thoughts but it's pretty rare.At the moment I'm trying to write an introduction/foreword ...

Really enjoying this record. Very political and positive energy. He'll be playing in San Francisco at the Power to the Peaceful festival which he organizes in two weeks. Should be a great show. New Monsoon is also playing as well.

So today I stopped by my fine local music retailers to catch up on new releases and took a listen to the new Michael Franti record "Yell Fire" I blogged on yesterday.I listened to portions of every track so I may be shortchanging it but I'd give it a 'kinna dope' rating. About as good as "Everyone Deserves Music" but not on par with "Stay Human" or the classic "Home".Franti wrote and recorded p...

I dig Michael Franti and I LOVE Spearhead, but my interest in his work had started to wane in recent years. For starters, I'm wide awake,angry and aware of what's going on in the world, so Yell Fire! is preaching to the converted. Plus, I liked their reggae sounds of yesteryear and wasn't so into the rock stylings they've adopted. Well, Franti must have noticed this shift in his fanbase, coz...

Sly & Robbie can do no wrong! Masters of their craft, the Riddim Twins are blazing with a quiet power alongside Spearhead in this new Michael Franti tune, "All I Want Is You". The bass, the drums, the echo are smooth and lazy like this sweltering heatwave in Cali right now. And yes - the reggae is back in sublime effect:Michael Franti & Spearhead 'All I Want Is You':Pure niceness.Directed by...
