Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

Ben Harper is one of the premier songwriters of his generation. He is also one of the most versatile and brave songwriters, fearlessly working in a cross-section of genres, ranging from pop, reggae and soul to blues, rock, funk and folk.

He has recorded 18 studio albums, sold over 16 million records worldwide, and won 3 Grammy Awards. Ben was born on October 28, 1969. While his music and career embody the sonic bravery, brilliance, lyrical honesty and social activism of that pivotal time, Harper adds his unique modern-day cultural awareness, bringing music with social conscience into the now. He received a 2023 nomination for the newly minted Grammy Special Merit Award for "Best Song For Social Change."

Harper's latest album, "Wide Open Light," included the hit "Yard Sale," a duet with Jack Johnson. It followed up the political and personally revealing, fearless and soulful Grammy-nominated "Bloodline Maintenance."
