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)

The electronic disco/indie pop that Shamir Bailey from Las Vegas makes definitely has what it takes to make him famous. Time shouldn’t be an issue, since he is only 20 years old. (JK)
