Premieres Friday, July 10, 2026 at 11 p.m. on KPBS TV (not in the KPBS+ app)

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, Harper first hit the stage as an adolescent troubadour and – bolstered by his band, the Innocent Criminals – he is now considered among his generation’s essential voices.

Fifty thousand fans dancing in the sunshine of Manchester, Tennessee cheered on funk/folk superstar Ben Harper during his main-stage performance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. The largest featured in LIVE FROM THE ARTISTS DEN, the concert took place on the 700-acre farm that for four days each year becomes the home of what is widely considered to be the premier American music festival.
