Ben Harper Performs My Father's House at Kennedy Center Honors
Bruce Springsteen's impactful storytelling shines through his songwriting, and 'My Father's House' is no exception. Before the Kennedy Center Honors performance on December 6, 2009, Springsteen had just released his album 'Working on a Dream' in 2009, which continued his exploration of Americana themes. Interestingly, 'My Father's House' roots back to his iconic 'Nebraska' album from 1982, showcasing his knack for revisiting poignant narratives. The performance, graced by Ben Harper, underscores the deep emotional resonance of this track—one that often reflects on family and introspection. Such live renditions at prestigious events like the Kennedy Center showcase not just Springsteen's enduring legacy, but also how his work inspires fellow artists to blend their voices into a rich tapestry of shared experience in music.
