Ben Harper Offers a Lifeline

Earlier this fall, Laura Dern's baby-daddy Ben Harper released his eighth album, Lifeline, the product of a week-long marathon recording session in Paris. The record's been heralded as Harper's best work in years, due to its casual simplicity and laid-back vintage sound, drawing comparisons to Bill Withers, Otis Redding, and Van Morrison. That's almost enough to get us to ignore the fact that he discovered surfer/"musician" Jack Johnson.

In his first ever seated theatre tour, Ben, along with his Innocent Criminals, will perform songs from the new album, as well as dig deep into the back catalog. He'll be in Seattle at the Paramount next Wednesday and Thursday. Seattlest has a pair of tickets to give away to Wednesday's all-ages show. Enter to win by filling out the form below. No worries: Your info is safe with us and will not be shared with advertisers and/or the government, yadda yadda yadda. We'll be drawing one winner Monday at 10am.
