 Ben Harper’s new album, ‘Bloodline Maintenance’, is a fearless and immensely soulful work, largely inspired by the loss of a long time friend and the lingering influence of a mercurial and charismatic father.
 Never content to rest on his creative laurels, Harper has continued to explore new sonic territory. He has retained his signature lap steel guitar but supercharged it through a coveted and powerful Dumble amplifier, creating a far more unruly tone.
 The album is both a political and personally revealing work. It is soul music, but never a stylistic tribute to some bygone era. The sound and words are essential and undeniably timely. It is a powerful musical reckoning.
 Ben plays guitar on Harry Styles’ new track, ‘Boyfriends’, and LeAnn Rimes’ ‘the only’. He is opening for Harry Styles’ residency at The Forum in LA throughout October and November.
 TV - Jimmy Kimmel Live, France Arte TV event.
 Press - Reviews in NY Times, The Guardian, Mojo, Uncut. Features in Ruta 66 (cover & interview).
 Online - Facebook & Instagram Songwriter Of The Day.
