With influences from Bob Marley to Blind Willie Johnson to Bob Dylan, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Ben Harper sees songs in colors and can taste them when they’re ready. His Grammy wins have come in the categories of Blues, Traditional Soul/Gospel, and Instrumental Pop. His musical range is indeed that varied, one can expect anything from alt-folk to reggae to indie rock to an operatic tenor hidden in a cabaret song. His latest, Wide Open Light, is a spare, largely acoustic set of songs, raw, and mostly solo. Ben Harper plays some of these pieces in-studio.
Set list: "Masterpiece", "Giving Ghosts", "Love After Love", "Trying Not To Fall In Love With You"
