After learning guitar as a child, Ben Harper often hung around his grandparent’s folk and blues shop and museum that was frequented by people such as Leonard Cohen and Taj Mahal. When he was a teenager he learned the slide guitar after discovering blues legend Robert Johnson. In order to pursue a legitimate career in music he learned the Weissenborn (slide lap guitar) to set himself apart from the other blues musicians. He was invited to tour with Taj Mahal and that got his foot in the door of the music world. Harper released his first studio album, Welcome to the Cruel World, in 1994 through Virgin Records after collaborating with folk guitarist Tom Freund to release the LP Pleasure and Pain. His second album, Fight For Your Mind in 1995 became a hit on college radio and Harper found himself touring extensively along the festival circuit with jam bands such as the Dave Matthews Band and becoming known for his stoner anthem “Burn One Down”. He has gone on to release many more albums, achieving more success in Europe than in the United States. He tours with his backing band The Innocent Criminals.
