After traveling throughout Southeast Asia and Africa the last couple months, we’re stoked to be heading to beautiful Whistler, B.C. to perform two shows at the upcoming World Ski and Snowboard Festival - WSSF!!! Join us for a pre-festival Stay Human experience on April 9th where we’ll be screening my new film Stay Human, spend time talking about the film and jamming to a few acoustic songs off the new album. On Wednesday, April 10th Spearhead joins the party & we’ll be rocking out a free afternoon show in Skiers Plaza! Tickets for the screening go on-sale Saturday at 10 am! It’s going to be an epic few days!

Woodstock 50! ―I can’t wait to rock out with y’all on Friday, August 16th and experience the Woodstock vibes while we celebrate the thing that throughout history has the power to bring us all together and remind us how human we all really are ―music. #woodstock50

Greetings from Lamu Kenya. An island with no cars or motorcycles. Just donkeys and sailboats. We just spent our hours following the sun into the water and breathing the air straight off the sail of the a beautiful old East African wooden sailing vessel. Thumb through the photos and catch a vibe with us. It’s good to be alive today. #stayhuman #Lamu #kenya #Frantication

On behalf of my children (and all beings on this planet), I thank all of the kids throughout the world who skipped school today to demand action on climate change. In a time that is challenging to stay optimistic, my hope is that small actions by many will continue to ripple out throughout the world, creating the changes we need. #climatestrike #stayhuman #optimism #hope #youth #climatechange

I am super excited to announce my new partnership with REBBL! REBBL (which stands for roots, extracts, berries, bark and leaves) is an organic, plant-powered elixir company that honors the Plant Queendom and ancient plant wisdom to offer nourishing beverages. What makes these tasty elixirs even more amazing is that each ingredient they use is ethically sourced with integrity to create positive social and environmental impact on communities that grow the plants. I only support brands that I personally enjoy and that are doing good things in the world and that’s why I’m stoked to have REBBL on board! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I am proud to be part of the REBBL family, as a member of the Collective. Alongside Ruby Rose, Dr. Will Cole, Dominique Crenn, Brenna Huckaby, & Koya Webb, we are working to bring awareness and devise solutions to eco-social issues like climate change and human trafficking all the while making nourishing, delicious elixirs.

Hey y'all! Greetings from Kampala, Uganda. We are here to perform at several festivals for International Women’s Day. The GLI puts on concerts each year to bring people from the community out to get tested for HIV, Cervical Cancer, Kidney Disease and learn about family planning. We are super excited and honored to be part of these shows with the top names in Ugandan music. Big shout out to Navio, one of the leaders of the music scene here on Uganda. I'll be sharing more about him and the studio collaboration we are working! Follow along on my Instastories. ✌🏽

Here we go Soulrockers! —We just launched a surprise 72-hour flash sale featuring some of our most popular merch! Sale available until Saturday, March 9th at 7:45 PM PT. Thanks for supporting the music and the message!! Check it out here: http://bit.ly/MFS72

I have spent so much time over the last year with many families who have experienced loss at the hand of gun violence and turned their loss into positive action in the movement to #EndGunViolence for us all. 25 years ago, after James Brady was shot alongside President Ronald Reagan in an assassination attempt in 1981, the #BradyLaw was passed, a bipartisan bill which was the first law to require background checks on gun sales and to date has blocked over 3 million gun sales. Almost to the day, 25 years later #HR8 was passed, which was the first major gun safety bill to pass in the U.S. House or Senate in over two decades in support of universal background checks. This shows how we can build off a legacy through the power individual stories, grassroots action and the belief that change is possible. The bipartisan support of #HR8 also shows we all benefit when we approach issues from a human perspective, rather than one that is based on party lines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I am super honored to stand in solidarity with all those in the movement and am more motivated than ever to keep bringing awareness to the power we have when we stand (and act) together from a place of love and healing. Keep your voices up. The Senate is next. If the Senate passes the bill, hundreds of thousands of lives could be spared from gun violence and more families will experience the peace that everyone deserves.✌🏽Learn more at www.bradyunited.org ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #stayhuman #optimism #wecanbethehealing #theflower #endgunviolencenow

Feeling that post-yoga glow with Sara Agah Franti at Soulshine Bali. This weeks yoga retreat has brought together so many special people who have gone deep and had a ton of fun. We are grateful to get to know all of them! ―Comment and let me know who you're grateful to hang out with this week!

I made the video for #TheFlower because I believe that the story of every family affected by gun violence is important to hear. While making the video and speaking to families, I was moved by the fact that gun violence has reached every corner of our society. Every family that I met told me that we need real action right now to reduce the likelihood of the loss that happened to them. Now we have an opportunity to make real historic change! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Call your rep and tell them to vote YES on legislation to #UpdateBackgroundChecks and support H.R.8!: Text CHECKS to 644-33 and Everytown for Gun Safety will connect you with your representative (only takes 2-3 minutes). The vote will happen as soon as this week! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Share this post to continue to raise awareness (and action!) in support of stricter gun laws! —We can be the healing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Full video available at: http://bit.ly/2twhnOg
