Tickets On Sale Now for the Good Day For A Good Day World Tour
And Soulshine at Sea Cruise from Miami to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas

UBUD, Bali – Proclaimed by Entrepreneur as a “ground-breaking musician” and having an “emphasis on melody and uplift that tracks with the singer-songwriter's evolving spirituality,” Michael Franti & Spearhead release their new single “Good Day For A Good Day,” written and produced solely by Franti. The song is available everywhere now and will impact radio Monday, July 12.
 
“We’ve been blown away by the enthusiasm our fans have shown so far for the Good Day For A Good Day World Tour and the Soulshine at Sea Cruise, and we thought we’d celebrate by releasing a new song for Soulrockers to sing along with us!” shares Franti.
 
“‘Good Day For A Good Day’ is about how sometimes we can make the choice to have an enjoyable day, despite the circumstances we may face in our usual routines,” the Bay-area native notes. “Sometimes you just need to have a good day to help you get through to the next one.”

Good days please come more often
Everybody’s in the streets out coughin’
Smog in the air gonna send you to your coffin
Plastic everywhere down there with the dolphins
Everybody was born to a Momma
So everybody is connected like karma
So disconnect yourself from the drama
Everybody’s trynna heal like trauma
 
You know it’s never been easy
Every day for everybody ain’t breezy
And I hope you realize when you look into another person’s eyes
 
You know today would be a very good day just to have a good day
You know today would be a very good day just to have a good day
With a little more love and a little more laughter
A little more good vibes, less disaster
You know today would be a very good day just to have a good day
All day long

In January 2019, Franti released his self-directed documentary Stay Human, which won an array of awards at film festivals worldwide and influenced his writing for his album Stay Human Vol. II (Thirty Tigers), which debuted at No. 1 on both the Americana and Independent Album charts and received critical acclaim from USA TodayBillboard, Associated Press and Paste. Influenced by the film, Franti’s Stay Human podcast presented by Gibson on the American Songwriter Podcast Network features creatives from all walks of life, with new episodes available each week.
 
Deemed a “groundbreaking musician” by Entrepreneur, Franti launched a virtual event revolution in June 2020 with his Stay At Home Concert World Tour, a creation prompted by his first summer in 33 years in which he wasn’t on the road due to the global pandemic, performing for over 50,000 fans worldwide with seven uniquely themed virtual livestreams. In order to better connect with his Soulrocker community, Franti developed a dual-screen model, allowing fans to join a “Backstage Zoom Party Room” and interact directly with one another.
 
Michael Franti & Spearhead continue to foster their community both on and off stage with a wish granting non-profit, Do It For The Love, founded by Franti and his wife, Sara. Do It For The Love brings those with life threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges to concerts worldwide, fulfilling over 3,300 wishes and touching the lives of over 12,000 people to date. Franti also owns SOULSHINE Bali, a 32-room top-rated yoga retreat hotel located in Ubud, Bali.
