While hundreds of thousands of British and European fans were mucking about in the fields at the Reading and Leeds festivals in England this weekend, Virgin Festival Ontario couldn't even fill Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre, which has a capacity of 16,000 people. Virgin Festival Ontario was originally to be held at Orillia, Ont.'s Burl's Creek...

Ben Harper And The Innocent Criminals — Lifeline

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) September 18, 2007 1:15 pm
There are several amazing things about this record. First, Harper and company recorded it directly on the heels of a nine-month tour. Second, they did it in pure analogue. And third, they recorded it in seven days. The result is 40 minutes of Harper gold. Choosing a relatively archaic recording method and keeping the instrumentation mainly...

Ben Harper Shows Both Sides To The Faithful

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) April 12, 2006 3:00 pm
You could smell the reverence in the air. Or maybe it was just the marijuana. Either way, there's something about a special club show accessible only by superfan contest winners, industry types and press. All the diehards huddled at the front of the stage, sharing stories of how they managed to score the coveted not-for-public-sale tix to see Ben...

Ben Harper — Both Sides Of The Gun

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) March 21, 2006 10:01 am
Ben Harper has the right idea with splitting up his latest batch of songs a la Foo Fighters for his first solo release in three years. Disc one has Harper up on the soapbox, commenting on the sorry state of the world over top of jazzy soul-funk beats. "Black Rain" is a diatribe on continuing racial prejudices highlighted by the...

Ben Harper And The Blind Boys Of Alabama — There Will Be A Light

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) September 21, 2004 3:06 pm
On his latest disc, Ben Harper teams up with The Blind Boys Of Alabama, a southern gospel group who’ve been around since 1939, to create an album full of gospel numbers. The album is a refreshing departure from Harper’s previous efforts, which have tended to be less than exciting affairs. With several songs mentioning Jesus, much of this album...

Together At Last: Ben Harper + Joseph Arthur + George Harrison's Kid = Fistful Of Mercy

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 26, 2010 11:18 am
We don't know why it wasn't entirely obvious that three musicians like Ben Harper, Joseph Arthur and Dhani Harrison — George Harrison's son — would work together. Sure, Harrison's the son of a well-known hippie musician and Harper's audience are the kind of people who are very likely to forget to wear shoes, but...

Conan O'Brien, Will Ferrell, Beck, Ben Harper, Others Do "Free Bird"

By CHARTattack Staff January 25, 2010 2:05 pm
Conan O'Brien's final episode of The Tonight Show ended with a performance of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird." O'Brien played guitar on the show and accompanied Ferrell, his wife Viveca Paulin, Beck, Ben Harper, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and house band leader Max Weinberg on the track. We have no idea how much it cost NBC to use.

The Chart Time Tunnel: Ben Harper

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) October 2, 2009 12:57 pm
As mentioned in last week's Time Tunnel, Julie Doiron and The Wooden Stars' collaboration began its four-week chart dominance, so this look back at the campus chart for Sept. 23 to 30, 1999 will focus on the chart action beyond #1. The biggest chart rise on this (or any other chart) was the 47-place jump made by The Folk Implosion's One Part...
