Fantasy

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.

Bold, poetic statement that could only come from these long-time musical partners, one of popular music's most essential, cohesive and dynamic ensembles. The standout title track showcases Harper's unmatched ability to blend the personal and political. Invoking the names of Trayvon Martin, Ezell Ford, and Michael Brown over an agitated blues riff, Harper cuts to the quick: "There's good cops / bad cops / white cops / black cops / call it what it is / Murder." The genre-spanning collection contains many highlights including the sun-kissed groove of Shine and the album's swaggering lead track When Sex Was Dirty.
