Beth Hart biography

Beth Hart (born January 24th, 1972) is an American blues singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist, hailing from Los Angeles, California.

Any singer of the blues needs to be able to sing from a place of truth in order for their message to be put across in genuine fashion, and that’s certainly the case where Beth Hart’s concerned. In her younger years, her passion for pursuing a career in music was often tempered by a debilitating drug addiction; eventually, though, it would be her love of the blues, fuelled by her difficult experiences, that would win out. In the late nineties, she had her first real hit, ‘LA Song (Out of this Town)’ off of her second studio album, ‘Screamin’ for My Supper’; it went to number one in New Zealand. As it happened, at the time, Hart was starring as Joplin off-Broadway - one listen to the sheer power of her voice makes you understand why she was a natural choice for that role.

In the years since, Hart’s fanbase has steadily grown on both sides of the Atlantic, and her recorded output has included the Danish chart-topper ’37 Days’ in 2007 and its follow-up, 2010’s critically-lauded ‘My California’. She’s also made two records with modern-day blues icon Joe Bonnamassa - a pairing that any blues fan worth their salt will tell you is a match made in heaven. In the UK, Hart’s burgeoning reputation was cemented in 2014, when she performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Live reviews

I went to see Beth Hart for the very first time back in 2005. She had just played Pinkpop for the first time and came back to NL for a short tour.

I had listened to her Pinkpop-performance on a small portable radio with bad reception, but knew I had to see this live. And so I did: Oosterpoort Groningen (NL), small venue. I was blown away, and absolutely hooked to that energy.

Since then I've seen her perform over 30 times. Her shows are raw and emotional and full of energy, she tells the best stories while on stage, and always delivers.

She's a total sweetheart too, if you're lucky enough to meet her. Lately she's getting more and more known due to her collaboration with Joe Bonamassa, and I've had the pleasure to see them together in Amsterdam. Brilliant show, worth every cent.

So yeah, go see Beth if you have the chance. It may be a bit expensive these days, but you'll thank yourself afterwards!

Report

JetteH

The show started with a 45 minute set from Last Great Dreamers. An enjoyable set of well played upbeat commercial pop-rock with good hooks and choruses. The singer wanted to be Marc Bolan!

Wille & the Bandits are a 3 piece from Cornwall and are a great mixture of styles and influences.

From blues to psych, prog to rock, southern rock to folk and a 15 minute instrumental (Angel) that touched on 70's jazz-rock thrown in for good measure - all were included in the 90 minute set.

Instrumentally each member was excellent and demonstrated a versatility that is often absent in bands.

When it comes down to it, its all about the songs and there was certainly enough to keep the interest.

Well worth checking out.
