THE MAGIE IS BACK
Active since the early 1990s, Ben Harper is now one of the biggest consensus artists on the folk, rock, blues, reggae and soul scene. Influenced equally by Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, the multi-talented multi-instrumentalist breaks new ground from album to album, delighting indie rock fans as much as oldschool purists. 20 gold and 7 platinum awards as well as 3 Grammys - most recently in the category "Best Blues Album" for his collaboration with blues harp virtuoso Charlie Musselwhite - grace the career path of the exceptional artist from California. In August 2020, Harper will come to the Z7 Summer Nights with his congenial backing band The Innocent Criminals.
The Harper family has deep roots in the Southern California folk scene. In 1958, Ben Harper's maternal grandparents founded the Folk Music Center & Museum in Claremont, which became a meeting place for the local music scene. Up-and-coming newcomers like Ry Cooder, David Lindley and Taj Mahal came and went there. Ben Harper's mother was a guitarist, his father a percussionist. At the age of eight, Ben attended a concert by Bob Marley. It was clear to him then that music knows no boundaries and has an infinite number of facets. With his band The Innocent Criminals, he experimented with styles ranging from blues to jazz and combined them into a complete work of art. Also live, Ben Harper knew how to convince with his unique voice and great songs right away. In the 90s his formation reached cult status. With "Steal My Kisses" Harper celebrated his greatest commercial success in 2000. In 2003 he was voted Artist of the Year by the French Rolling Stone. After the musician released albums with colleagues such as Relentless7, Charlie Musselwhite or his mother Ellen, it came in 2015 to the reunion with the Innocent Criminals. In 2016, the band album "Call It What It Is" was released. A full 9 years after the last joint output, the musicians showed that this collaboration has lost none of its magic. Since then, the formation is back on the road together and enchants the stages of this world with their gripping sound mixture.
