February 19th is the day the United States celebrates “President’s Day” as a national holiday. In observance of this solemn day, Michael Franti and Spearhead are calling on all citizens of the world to join in our LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT Contest! Tell him what you really feel!!! Your thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams – for or against, no matter how spicy, cheeky, irreverent or downright pissed off they may be!!!
All submissions are welcome as poems letters or songs. The only requirements are that they are one page or less and that the letters offer some form of constructive criticism (What would you do?).
Three winners will be selected for each of the three Spearhead shows on President’s Day Weekend. Two at the Warfield in San Francisco on the 16th and 17th and one at the Montbleu Resort Showroom in Lake Tahoe on the 18th.
Winners will receive a pair of tickets and VIP access, signed posters, T shirts and $100 towards travel to the show. In addition each winner will be asked to read their letter on stage before Spearhead’s set.
Please include in your letter whether or not you will be able to attend the show. Contest winners who are unable to attend will have their letters read on stage by Michael Franti.
