Ben Harper has built one of the largest and most loyal followings in the world. We get Embedded for a day in Ben's life as he introduces us to Relentless7, his new band, and takes us inside his family's music store to school us on his roots.
In part 1, Ben gives us a tour of the Claremont Folk Music Center, the store founded by his grandparents in the 1950s. Ben grew up there, restringing guitars and learning about music genres from around the world. "It's the start of my passion for music and specifically the slide guitar," he tells us. He introduces his new band, Relentless7: Jason Mozersky on lead guitars, Jesse Ingalls on bass and keys, and Jordan Richardson on drums. Hear the band play "Shimmer & Shine" and "Keep It Together (So I Can Fall Apart)."
