Easiest one so far... "This artist performed "Queen Bee" on an episode of Austin City Limits on PBS." Search 'Queen Bee performed austin city limits' and you'll get it. Great news, great musician.

Yeah it's Ben Harper, but I guess the grackle isn't up yet. Great news though, great addition.

Well, if you actually dig a little deeper, you will see that it is from a Austin City Limits album and the main artist is Taj Mahal, Ben Haper guests on the song, playing slide guitar. So, there are multiple possibilities. Either way, I can't find the grackle, still looking.

sure it isn't Taj Mahal?

there's no grackle on his website either, but he did perform Queen Bee (ben harper was in the band)
Hmm, I suppose I'm not, Harper made sense, although I should have looked a little deeper. It may still be Harper I suppose.

It says that Taj Mahal is on tour Sept 15 & 16 in MO
Yeah, that's why I was thinking it was Harper, but if there's no grackle either place we can't be sure.

If it is Ben Harper, we will be getting Damian Marley also, since they are on tour together around that time. They would also have to play on Saturday or Sunday. Due to a Friday show in Atlanta. However, this could very well be Taj Mahal, not Ben Harper. Or somebody else could have covered the song. The issue with Taj Mahal is that he is booked on Sep 15 and 16th in Steelville, MO; he could only play on Sep 17.

Harper's site doesn't seem to be down for me...and it still doesn't have a grackle. Pissing me off...this is the first one that's taken more than 45 seconds to figure out.
Not that Harper performed Queen Bee with Mahal or anything, chicoman.
