Benjamin Charles Harper, professionally known as Ben Harper, is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Born on October 28, 1969 in Pomona, California, USA, he has captivated audiences with his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics. With a career spanning over two decades, Ben's music combines elements of folk, blues, rock, and reggae to create a unique sound that resonates with fans worldwide.
Throughout his musical journey, Ben has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and collaborated with various artists from different genres. His versatility as a musician is evident through his ability to play multiple instruments including the guitar, piano, drums, and harmonica.
In addition to his musical achievements, Ben was married to Laura Dern from 2005 to 2013. This period of his personal life influenced some of his introspective songs that explore themes of love and relationships.

Celebrating 25 years since its original release, Ben Harper’s debut album Welcome to the Cruel World is reissued on Double 45RPM 180 Gram Vinyl.

Like a King and Take That Attitude to Your Grave burn with a political conviction rarely heard during the 1990s. Forever has a tenderness which demonstrates Harper’s emotional range. Ben closes the album with a song that frequently closes his concerts, I’ll Rise. This song, built around Maya Angelou’s 1979 poem And Still I Rise, reminds one of art’s ability to pierce through society, self, and the soul.
