Harper is also continuing to expand his creative pursuits on-screen following his 2023 run in AppleTV+ series "Extrapolations,” with an appearance in the new Jeff Buckley documentary, IT’S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY, which recently premiered at Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Amy Berg, the film is a compassionate portrait of the late Jeff Buckley, whose music continues to inspire artists worldwide. With beautiful scores and rare live performances, it captures the love, loss, and enduring impact that shaped Buckley, and thus the international music culture of the late 20th century.

In Rolling Stone’s coverage of the film’s premiere at Sundance, they praised Harper’s surprise performance saying, "Harper proceeded to play his own version of 'Hallelujah,' which borrows Buckley’s sparseness but doesn’t try to imitate his friend’s version. Tears flowed. The room was pin-drop silent. Then, when he finished, people burst into raucous applause. It was the perfect capper to the doc. A moment we wished would never be over." - Rolling Stone

As a 3x-GRAMMY-winner, Harper has amassed international critical applause and a worldwide fan following for his own genre-traversing body of work while also producing acclaimed albums by Mavis Staples, Rickie Lee Jones, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Natalie Maines, Ziggy Marley, and others. An inveterate collaborator, Harper has also recorded with a diverse span of artists ranging from John Lee Hooker, Charlie Musselwhite, to Ringo Starr, Keith Richards and, most recently, Harry Styles, to contribute his signature guitar work to the superstar’s chart-topping album, HARRY’S HOUSE. Harper joined Styles for an astounding 12 nights of performances at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles in 2022.
