MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 2018
SOUTHERN ALBERTA JUBILEE AUDITORIUM - CALGARY, AB
Doors: 6:30PM Show: 7:30PM
GRAMMY-Award winning, multiplatinum-selling artists BEN
HARPER and CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE will collaborate once again
for their new album No Mercy in This Land, due out March
30, 2018. No Mercy in This Land is the first of new music
from the pair since the 2013 release of their collaborative
album Get Up!, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Blues
Albums Chart and won a GRAMMY Award in 2014 for "Best Blues
Album." A musical expression of the kinship between the
two, the album recounts both Ben and Charlie's personal
stories and adds to the sonic history of American struggle
and survival. No Mercy in This Land is available for
preorder now at www.NoMercyInThisLand.com
and will include an IG download of the album's
title track, which is also available to stream at the link
here.
"Charlie Musselwhite is that very rare and hallowed place
where blues past, present and future collide," says Ben
about his collaborator and friend. "He transforms notes
into emotions that feel both hauntingly familiar and brand
new, as if hearing them for the first time every time. He
is a living legend whose harmonica playing should be beamed
into outer space to search for other life forms."
"On stage or in the studio - working with Ben Harper holds
the same excitement I experienced working with Chicago
blues legends back in the day," says Charlie. "I think it
is safe to say that Ben has reinvented the Blues in a great
way: playing modern while preserving the feel. I am honored
and privileged to be a participant in this project."
Ben and Charlie will celebrate the album's release on March
30th by kicking off an international tour that same evening
in San Francisco, CA at the famed Fillmore before heading
overseas for a string of European dates. The duo will make
their return to States in May with two nights at Los
Angeles' Troubadour followed by a summer's worth of shows
across North America.
