LYRICS:
Come all you London Daughters
And sons of the looking glass
Walking through the sullied water
Na na na you can’t go back
Feeding on the lost and fallen
It’s all we’ve ever done
Can you hear their voices calling
Go now and put down your guns
And as the old wind blows
we’re going down then up

Come all you Dublin fathers
And your next of kin
Walking through the bloodied water
The cancer upon your skin
When we were hit will hit back harder
That’s our refrain
And we’ll make the war go longer
Just so they can know our pain
And as the cadence calls
We’re going down, down then up

Can you see a light burning up ahead
Or feel the wisdom in the ground
Can you hear the story carried in the wind
And see the bird flying up

Come all you wailing mothers
those who have lost so much
Show us how we begin to regain your touch
With your children everywhere 
tracing family names
You’re walking miles and miles
To show them the way
And like the air in her lungs
We’re going down then, down then up

01 Start The Show

Once, sixteen million salmon migrated almost 1000 miles each year up the Columbia River, making their way back to their birth stream. Now, as few as 2% of the returning numbers are wild salmon. This icon of the Pacific Northwest faces many imminent threats from climate change to overfishing and habitat loss. The only way to save the salmon now is by protecting the last wild salmon.

Every Species of Wild Salmon Faces Extinction

Artsists4Action is proud to showcase an amazing collaboration of local and international artists on our first CD release, Songs for the River, in honor of the mighty rivers and sweet salmon that run her course. All profits from this album will be donated to the Columbia Riverkeeper who’s advocacy for the Northwest Salmon reaches into the heart of the issue.

String Cheese Incident: Sometimes A River

Hey Hey Hey

Michael Franti is a globally renowned musician, humanitarian, and activist, celebrated for his high-energy live performances, socially conscious music, and unshakable optimism. With three Billboard No. 1 hits—“Sound of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You),” and “I Got You”—and a track record of six Top 30 Hot AC singles, 10 Top 25 AAA singles, and three Billboard Top 5 albums, Franti has built a career on music that uplifts and unites. His concerts break down barriers between artist and audience, transforming venues into spaces of joy, connection, and shared humanity.

On March 28, 2025, Franti released his 14th studio album, Welcome to the Family, a collection of 13 new songs that embrace themes of inclusivity, self-discovery, and resilience. The lead single, “Break Up With Everything,” is currently climbing the US AAA charts, setting the tone for an album that channels personal and global challenges into anthems of hope and change. “Every one of us has a family—whether by birth, circumstance, or choice. When you put all those together, they form the world family. Right now, the world is filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and division. This album is about taking those emotions—what I experience every day—and turning them into music that reminds us we are never alone.”

To bring this message of connection to life, Franti will embark on the Welcome to the Family Tour, a nationwide summer trek with stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pier 17, and more. Known for his immersive concert experience—where he often performs from the crowd, invites fans on stage, and fosters a true sense of togetherness—each show is more than just a performance; it’s a celebration of unity and positivity.

Beyond music, Franti is the founder of Soulshine Bali, a forty-room, five-star boutique retreat in Ubud, Indonesia, dedicated to wellness, creativity, and human connection. He and his wife also founded Do It For The Love, a nonprofit that grants live music experiences to individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges. Since its inception, the foundation has granted over 3,500 wishes, touching more than 15,000 lives worldwide.

Franti’s career is defined by his ability to turn hardship into hope, fostering unity through music, activism, and philanthropy. Whether on stage, at his Bali retreat, or through his foundation, his purpose remains the same: to bring people together, lift spirits, and remind us all that we are part of something bigger. With Welcome to the Family, he continues to create not just music but a movement of love, inclusivity, and transformation.
