The CragBaby

Michael Franti is one of my favorite artists as his music captures the essence of climbing trips and the chill life attached to the hobby. I was introduced to him and his music two years at his performance during the Gallivan Plaza concert series. The plaza was packed with people dancing, drinking and thoroughly enjoying the music. It was a warm beautiful night that was perfectly cooled by the slightest rain shower. The night was a perfect summer evening.

This past summer Franti was on the list of artists hitting Gallivan again and I stoked to see him again, his concert being the only concert in the series that I was determined to see. As luck would have it, my good friend Shaft and I had planned to go all summer but during this week Shaft’s youngest daughter ended up in Primary Children’s Hospital fairly sick and so we spent the evening with her, painting and watching a movie.

Unbeknownest to me, Michael Franti was schedule to hit the SLC scene again during the Outdoor Retailer show. Shaft bought two tickets and asked me if I wanted to join in. Oh man, it was such a treat and yet another fantastic Franti show.

Me and Shaft prior to the concert. Woot!
