With Ben Harper And Relentless7
Thursday, July 8th at 11:00 p.m. on WPBT2
Since beginning his career with The Beatles in the 1960s, Ringo Starr has been one of the world’s brightest musical luminaries. He has enjoyed a successful and dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter, drummer, active musical collaborator, and actor. Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country, honky-tonk, and rock 'n' roll, Ringo continues to play an important role in modern music with his solo recording and touring most recently with his new album, Y Not.

One of music’s most innovative modern bluesmen, Ben Harper has also grown into one of its most dynamic live performers. A native of Pomona, California, and raised on eclectic tastes in his parents’ instrument shop, he first hit the stage as an adolescent troubadour, and has since grown into an internationally recognized concert draw. Bolstered by his new band, Relentless7 (with whom he recorded his latest album, White Lies for Dark Times), he is now considered among his generations essential voices.
