Ben Harper's Bass Player?

  1. Don't know who this guy is but the man can groove. And he knows some tricks as well. Saw him on the Pepsi Smash the other night. Anybody know his story?

    I was flippin' through the channels in my hotel room and came across Ben Harper on this show... That was Juan Nelson... very happenin' little solo, and nice vocals too... He had a BP cover a while back with a good interview.

    I have friend that works with Ben Harper, and he says the worst thing about having Juan in the band is.........everybody keeps trying to hire Juan away from the band;)
     
  8. yeah he certainly is.

    i heard a solo he played live while here (australia) on steal my kisses. It went for about 2 minutes and i was very nearly turned on in a very sexual way...

    have fun,
