Ben Harper

Artist's Website

Since debuting in 1994 with Welcome to the Cruel World, Ben Harper has established himself as one of the world’s most versatile and hard-working musicians – and one of its top concert draws. With “Both Sides of the Gun,” his new release, Ben Harper has raised that bar to new heights. For him, though, it’s just one more step in a career that’s still building. “I’ve never made a record that didn’t feel like it was my first,” he says, “with the same excitement, the same enthusiasm and intensity.” Of course, in the dozen years since that first record, he’s built a loyal fan base around the globe, but he sees the expectations of his audience as a challenge, not a limitation. “Expectations are there for a reason,” Harper says. “To be surpassed.”
