So my buddy was going to take a girl to this show but it didnt work out so he asked if I wanted to go. I am not really a huge Ben Harper fan, I have heard his tunes, hes good.. kinda bored of the singer songwriter thing but what the hell it should be a good time.
I was very impressed to say the least.
Amazing lap steel playing by this man.
He also has a voice that is so strong and powerful, he pulled his ear monitors, the band stopped, he ditched the mic and sang a capella with no amplification from the edge of the stage... this brought down the house.
After the show I can say I am a fan, great performer, great band and some of the best lyrics out there.
If you get a chance to see Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, go for it.

That's great that you got to see him Marz! I haven't seen him live, but have had several friends who have. He's on one of my customized stations on Slacker.com.

I agree Marz, he is one talented performer, I saw him open up for Pearl Jam a few years back, he was amazing. Great pedal steel player, and they really jammed, did some Hendrix which was awesome. I didn't want him to stop playing. Great artist with a very good band behind him too. O0

Who the F*** is Ben Harper?????
Country???
Oh....no wonder....I'm very closed minded when it comes to that sh**
Although, when Tyler took me to the Railbenders, I did enjoy my country-bigot mind being opened......
Though it took a bunch of long island ice teas and Glenfiddich scotches

Ahh, Glenfiddich is nice, I have been a little more partial to Cragenmore these days.
Hey Rob, you ever listen to Old Crow Medicine Show? They are kinda old timey / bluegrass / country.
I like country but I like my country old and twangy like Hank Sr. or Bill Monroe

Ben Harper isn't country. More of a beach type music. Very So Cal.

I've never heard of him, either -- which means he's definitely not country.
