Beth Hart

Beth Hart is as real as it gets. In a music industry full of glossy production and airbrushed photoshoots, this is one artist who throws down her cards, shares her darkest secrets and invites you to join her for the ride.

New fans might know Beth as the all-conquering global icon, dubbed 'extraordinary' by The Times and 'daring, brooding and angry' by The Guardian. But to understand her rollercoaster backstory, you need only read the War In My Mind lyric sheet.

Hart is recognized as one of her generation's most talented voices. She has sold out tours worldwide, including performances at historic venues such as Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, London's Royal Albert Hall, and the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. She's topped the Billboard charts six times, gone double platinum and had a string of Top 10 charting albums across Europe.

At 51 – and proud of it – Beth is basking in a golden period. The success of her last original album, War In My Mind, followed by her incredible Led Zeppelin tribute, have garnered yet more critical acclaim, growing sales and sold-out shows. But as the singer reminds us, her life has always moved in cycles – 'things get good then go to crap, get good then go to crap' – and it's in these extremes that many of her best songs are born.
