Grammy award-winning guitarist, songwriter, and bandleader Ben Harper enjoyed cult status on the jam band scene in the 1990s largely due to the success of his debut album, Welcome To The Cruel World, and its follow-up, Fight For Your Mind, before gaining wider attention near the decade’s end. During the 21st century, he transcended the genre to become a wildly diverse performer, collaborator, and sideman who has worked with artists ranging from the Blind Boys of Alabama and Charlie Musselwhite to John Mayer. Harper drew his influences from classic singer/songwriters, blues revivalists, guitar slingers, and jam bands like Blues Traveler and Phish, which meant he was embraced by critics and college kids alike. Despite finding commercial success with the radio single Steal My Kisses in 2000, Harper continued to explore different (and often challenging) musical textures during the early 21st century, enjoying a solid fan base at home and a considerable amount of fame in Europe, where he was named 2003’s Artist of the Year by the French branch of Rolling Stone. This album features a show Harper did at the Newbury Comics in Cambridge Usa on Friday the 20th of june 2003. This was a free afternoon in-store solo acoustic performance and Harper also hang around to do a meet and greet session with WBOS contest winners. A relaxed acoustic show for any fan of Ben Harper and his music.
