Laura Dern's former hubby Ben Harper; Black Rocker of the People!

Ben Harper is not a name everyone knows, but he is well-known around the L.A. area. An underground rocker he's known to be quite diverse and popular selling his CD's at his shows and very much in demand. Some may also know him as the former main squeeze of actress Laura Dern. He and her have a son together. But Ben Harper's music is a culmination of most music styles but is clearly southern california music. He kind of reminds me of a Gram Parsons with a lot more soul. A unique artist he has not compromised his musical vision to go mainstream but is content to do music his way and brave new territory in his search for a new musical expression that has captured the imagination of his fanbase. They are as dedicated as the Deadheads were to the Grateful Dead or Bruce Springsteen's fans to him. Check him out and by all means go see him for this is a black rocker for the people!
