The Corner Lounge

Corner Lounge – Ben Harper April 2010
Posted on by Bob Uehlein

As we post this on Ben Harper’s 46th birthday (10/28/15), what a thrill it was to have Ben visit the Corner Lounge in person before playing the Pavilion back in April of 2010! We talked about Tiger Woods, his band at the time Relentless7, how to go for broke when covering a song & how great Mudhouse is!  He even guest DJ’d a 5-song My Corner Playlist (hear him make his picks in the player at the bottom of this page!). Thanks to Jack Looney for the great pics at our studio & at the show!  Also, check out our visit via satellite in 2013 with Ben & blues legend Charlie Musselwhite!
