Ben Harper will be joining forces with National Geographic Music to perform a live, free concert on Earth Day (April 22nd) in Rome’s Piazza del Popolo. Harper will perform with musicians from Relentless7 and showcase music from their upcoming album White Lies for Dark Times. All of the concert’s carbon emissions will be offset by planting 1,000 trees this fall in Rome’s Riserva della Valle dell’Aniene park. Nat Geo Music will also stream the concert live online.

We’ve mentioned the eco-friendly Haper several times on the Razz. In a 2007 interview with Sprig, he touched upon what green meant to him saying, “I think we’re in the middle of an environmental renaissance, whether we know it or not. You can really intelliglbly gauage a renaissance until 10 years after it has happened. But in the meantime, there’s a lot to do — and there are a lot of people doing some real exiciting stuff around the planet.”
