You'll have a blast! I've seen him probably 7-8 times (a couple of those he opened for PJ) and every time I'm blown away :D Enjoy!

still haven't seen him live, though....i was close a couple of times, but life got in the way. almost saw him at ACL in 2009, but we didn't want to lose our spot for PJ. so we saw The Dead Weather instead & they kicked ass.

Took me a long time to catch him live. First was in 2009, and thankfully once per year since. He's a workhorse so I'm sure you will get another shot soon.

I've been lucky that I've gotten to see him a bunch of times and with multiple bands...when he tours, he usually visits D.C. so I always make sure I get tickets. He really mixes things up and I love that there's such a range in his music.

I hope you get to see him soon Matt! :D

wow, thanks everyone on this thread, I have just spent the last hour or so reading all the posts and clicking most of the links....such a cool time, am a huge fan of Ben Harper. One of those rare artists that just doesnt write a bad song (in my humble opinion)

I am not very computer literate so I dont know how to get those links sorry...and I sincerely apologise if this has been posted already and I missed it, but can someone please post a link to Ben and Eddie singing Indifference...I really love it

Probably a dumb question but do all you BH fans also get into John Butler Trio...they have a really similar vibe about them...live they are both just incredible...

Hope the thread continues :corn:
