Beth Hart has an honest and raw approach to her music. Her highs and lows have no constraints as she has no problem sharing them with the world through her songwriting. Honest, factual accounts from her upbringing to her current place are on full display on anything she has ever put pen to paper. Without hesitation Hart bears her soul with explosive power, emotional backbone, and raw vulnerability. For over two decades she has pushed down walls, escaped her demons, embraced her God given talent and given the gift of compelling storytelling in masterful musical style that stands alone and above expectations.

She has recorded several albums that have awarded her headlining tours at some of the most desirable venues in the world.

Hart is currently on "The Thankful Tour" in the United States and moving overseas in the summer months. She is also releasing a new album “A Tribute To Led Zeppelin" that comes out on February 25th, 2022. Hart was definitely influenced by Robert Plant and she shows a ton of courage and respect covering some of Zep’s classic hits such as "Black Dog", "Stairway To Heaven", "Whole Lotta Love" and many more classic hits from the Gods Of Thunder. This is a highly anticipated release and from what I have heard she absolutely nails it!
Quinn Sullivan at twenty two years old is no stranger to the stage. He started taking guitar lessons at the age of three and appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show at the ripe old age of six.

They played a stripped down set with several songs from Quinn’s new album Wide Awake. Many people in the audience had never seen Sullivan play before and were impressed enough to give him and Chris a standing ovation. They covered Derek and The Dominos hit "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad” with Sullivan playing some fiery lead guitar on the track. Check out Quinn Sullivan as soon as you can!

Hart is a craftsman of storytelling and she wears her heart on her illustrated sleeve’s. She is colorful, soulful and downright truthful! She played several tracks from her “War In My Mind” album, including the title track. The piano melody is haunting and lyrically the song could not be more honest as she describes internal conflict and struggles in her life. She is as open and truthful as she is dynamic on stage. The set was diverse with ballads, blues and rock. Her no bullshit attitude is admirable and courageous. She brings life to her songs, peace to herself and joy to her audience.
