Beth Hart has been down a long road…from the top of the charts to the lowest place you can be in life. And that journey has been reflected in every album she’s released. 

She leads you by the hand through her experiences, re-living every joy and weeping over every sorrow. You see it in her lyrics, you hear it in her music, and you feel it in every sweet sigh and every savage scream that’s on every track she’s ever made.  Her edgy, no-non-sense approach to her art is what has made her truly one-of-a-kind.

As it happens to all true survivors, ultimately, life revealed itself to Beth and now she’s arrived at the place she’s always dreamed of: a place of love, spirituality and, most of all, contentment.

It wasn’t always that way.

Her first album “Immortal”, was full of the pomposity of rock cut with the agony of blues. From the time it was released, it had more going for it than most new artists can ever hope for. Three of music’s superstar producers teamed up to make this album, each of them mesmerized by her raw, powerful voice. With the wealth of experience and credits that Hugh Padgham, David Foster and Mike Clink brought to the project, how could it fail to be anything other than USA multi-platinum? But Beth knew there was something missing. “We were too cocky and I didn’t really know what I wanted. As good as the talent on the album was, it never captured the simple truth of our live performances.”

Her 2nd album, “Screamin’ For My Supper” put her back in the right direction. With techno-wizard producer Tal Herzberg producing this album with Beth, this album contained her huge hit, “L.A. Song” as well as “Delicious Surprise”, which were both produced by Oliver Leiber. But, again, there was a critical ingredient missing, and, unfortunately for Beth, this time it was her health.  “I was drinking and partying so much; I slowly started to go out of my mind,” Beth recalls.  “As good as an experience as it was working with Tal, and as many doors as ‘L.A. Song’ opened up for us, I wasn’t together enough to enjoy the ride.”

Her 3rd album, “Leave The Light On”, also featured a wealth of talent.  Producers Mike Bradford, Danny Saber as well as Oliver Leiber and E.T. Thorngren all had a hand in helping Beth craft this work.  Beth had dropped out of sight for a while and this album helped her heal as she climbed out of that dark place. This album, more than any previous one, was intensely personal for Beth. “I was going back into a career that I had lost my mind pursuing. Now I felt a tremendous responsibility to be totally honest, because so many young girls had looked up to me throughout my career.  I owed it to them to reveal the truth about what I had gone through and warn them about where that can take you.”

Alberta Cross has toured extensively through the U.K., sharing the stage with Oasis, The Shins, Bat for Lashes and Simian Mobile Disco, among others. “If we weren’t playing for people every night, we would be going mad.” Stakee says. Adds Wolfers, “We do it, because we have to.”

Along with the release of ”Leave The Light On”, Beth did her first DVD, Live At Paradiso.”I’m all about live”,Hart states,adding “What I love the most about this DVD is that it showcases all of what my music is all about---the hard side, the soft side, the cockiness,the honesty.It’s very, very open. This DVD really captures the colors of all three of my albums.”

After that experience, Beth was ready to “go live” again. A series of tours followed in Europe, primarily in Denmark and Holland.  Beth is very grateful for having had that experience. “Those audiences brought my confidence back. They reminded me of the power of my music, of how it could reach out into the crowd and touch everyone in one way or another. I really loved those people, man, and I could feel their love coming back to me.”
