It’s been four long years since Ben Harper last graced our fair shores (he played at the 30th anniversary of Byron Bay Bluesfest back in 2019), but the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, musician and producer is back to play a one-off show in Melbourne.
Harper will hit up the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on February 7 to perform music spanning his entire catalogue plus tunes from his brand new acclaimed album, Bloodline Maintenance – a fiercely personal and deeply soulful release. Expect classic hits like ‘Diamonds on the Inside’, Steal My Kisses’ and ‘Boa Sorte/Good Luck’ as well as the first single off his new record, ‘We Need to Talk About It’.
“It was like I was moving forward and venturing into places I had never been before. Taking everything I've learned from every other record and kind of setting fire to it all and starting over,” Harper says of his new album. “And I knew the sounds I was hearing in my head were so unorthodox that I had to do most of it myself.”
Limited tickets for the Melbourne show are still available at Ticketmaster.
