Contest: Ben Harper @ the Vic!
Over the last 20 years, Ben Harper's worked all over the map - heading bands with the Innocent Criminals and Relentless7, collaborating with the Blind Boys of Alabama and playing with Joseph Arthur and Dhani Harrison (you know, George's son) in Fistful of Mercy. But he always returns to solo albums where he's comfortable rolling out whatever mix of rock, blues, folk, etc. that he's feeling at the time. His latest, Give Till It's Gone, is no exception with Harper drawing from a variety of influences and even featuring legends like Ringo Starr and Jackson Browne as guests.
Gapers Block is giving a pair of tickets to Ben Harper's show at the Vic on Friday, July 1. Write into contests@gapersblock.com with "Give Till It's Gone" in the subject line for a chance to win! [Update: Holy cow. Our inbox was slammed with responses to this. But we have a winner and her name's Amy. Have fun at the show, Amy! And thanks for reading, everybody!]
Ben Harper plays the Vic this Thursday and Friday, June 30 and July 1. They start at 7:30PM. Both shows are sold out. The Vic's at 3145 N Sheffield.
