Grammy-nominated American blues singer Beth Hart has been compared to various greats of the stage, including the likes of Janis Joplin, Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette.

But it is only Hart who can perform her very personal songs in her well-paced soul style, with some hints of rock elements.

Hart is returning to Copenhagen in order to perform new songs from her latest release, Better than Home.

Best hurry up and book your tickets though, as Hart has a large fan base in Denmark, where she has had two number ones: ‘As Good As It Gets’ and ‘Learning To Live’. (JK)

Make your voice heard as an expat

In my last op-ed, I made the case that we, expats living in Denmark, need to step up if we want to tackle the headaches that seem baked into expat life—e.g., counterintuitive laws and endless paperwork.
