Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals are set to make a return to New Zealand next year with a five-date summer tour, including Hawke's Bay's Church Road Winery.
The renowned American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, along with his band, will play ay the venue on Friday, February 28, as well as New Plymouth, Christchurch, Auckland and Tauranga.
A three-time Grammy Award winner and seven-time nominee, Harper is without question one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters of our generation.
The Californian-born artist has traversed a myriad of musical landscapes in the three decades that he's been making music, from blues, rock and reggae; to soul, funk and folk.
In his time, he's released 14 studio albums, including Burn to Shine (1999); Diamonds on the Inside (2003) There Will Be Light (2004); Childhood Home (2014); and most recently in 2018, No Mercy in this Land with blues legend Charlie Musselwhite.
