Last night Michael Franti headlined a benefit held at
Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA that found him joined by a number of his musical
friends to raise funds for his Do It For the Love Foundation and Music Heals
International.

Bob Weir, one of the venue's owners, was among Franti's guests last
night. The guitarist sat in on covers of "Sitting In Limbo" and "Three Little Birds" with
Franti and his band. Not only
did Bobby perform with Michael, but he also took part in an impromptu set that included
members of RatDog such as Robin Sylvester, Jay Lane and Rob Wasserman. The brief
performance included takes on "West L.A. Fadeaway," "The
Other One" and "Not Fade Away." Jason Crosby opened the show with Dan
"Lebo" Lebowitz, Reed Mathis and Ezra Lipp. Crosby later sat in on fiddle with Weir and
his RatDog-heavy backing band. We'll have more
from the benefit in the coming days.
