Entertainment

Michael Franti & Spearhead @ 7:45pm

Franti formed Spearhead in the '90s, and in recent years he's found his own voice musically and his own organic brand of popular success. Franti & Spearhead's last album, 2008's "All Rebel Rockers"--recorded in Jamaica with legendary producers and players Sly & Robbie-- became the biggest hit of Franti's career, hitting the Top 40 on the Billboard 200, and yielded his biggest hit, the Top 20 "Say Hey (I Love You)." Franti & Spearhead blends hip-hop with a variety of other styles including funk, reggae, jazz, folk and rock.

Lifehouse @ 9:05pm

For the duration of Los Angeles-based Lifehouse's 10-year career, they've been delicately balancing two identities: radio-friendly song craftsmen and raucous live rock & roll band. On their forthcoming album, "Smoke & Mirrors," the band finally unites these two personalities. Among the collaborations on the album is one with American idol alum Chris Daughtry. They came to prominence in 2001 with the hit single "Hanging by a Moment" which won a Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year.
