Share

Top performers coming to San Diego this week include Sheryl Crow, Deorro, Biz Markie and Earth, Wind & Fire.

6.4&5 - Michael Franti & Spearhead

It’s been a long journey for Michael Franti, from the political rap of Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy to the universalistic sing-alongs of his work with Spearhead in recent years. But Franti’s message continues to evolve, and he’ll be doling out the positivity in heaps over this two-day stand.
