"San Francisco is one of the greatest cities in the world and it felt like the right place for us to set sail. "The Innocent Criminals -- comprised of percussionist Leon Mobley, bassist Juan Nelson, drummer Oliver Charles, keyboardist Jason Yates and guitarist Michael Ward -- trace their roots back to 1993.

Ben Harper is a musician, artist, and activist. Whether it's through the soul of southern Gospel, 70s funk, blues, reggae, or straightforward rock and roll, Harper and his trademark Weissen born guitar have been stunning audiences with incendiary live performances and timeless songwriting.
Harper continues to innovate his craft as a songwriter, performer, and producer. He has released 10 acclaimed studio albums since 1994 - including Give Till It's Gone, which debuted at No. 15 on TheBillboard 200 in 2011 and was hailed by Rolling Stone as "his most searingly personal album" - and three live records. These releases combined with an unceasing commitment to international touring have helped Harper grow a fan base that now spans several continents. After spending the summer on the road with his band, Harper will launch his first-ever acoustic headline tour in September.
A collaborator by nature, Harper has recorded and performed with a long list of artists including Ringo Starr, Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne, Tom Morello, Rickie Lee Jones, Taj Mahal, Jack Johnson and Vanessa da Mata. His album with the Blind Boys of Alabama, There Will Be A Light, earned two GRAMMY® awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album.

Harper and the band toured the globe nonstop for 15 years, earning legions of fans thanks to their explosive live performances. Their fans were also fueled by Harper's acclaimed studio output with albums such as "Fight For Your Mind," "The Will to Live," "Burn to Shine," "Diamonds on the Inside" and the GRAMMY® nominated "Lifeline." They featured such songs as "Burn One Down," "Diamonds on the Inside," "Steal My Kisses," "Better Way" and "Fight Outta You." The Innocent Criminals also backed Ben and The Blind Boys of Alabama on the two-time GRAMMY® winning collaborative album "There Will Be A Light.
"While Harper has sold millions of records throughout the world, it is on stage that he and The Innocent Criminals established themselves as one of the world's most versatile and hard-working bands. That reputation took the band from the early days of playing the tiny Mint in Los Angeles to the world's finest concert halls, theaters and festivals including Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, Fuji Rock, Roskilde Festival and the inaugural edition of Coachella in 1999."The Innocent Criminals are a family," Harper added.
