Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Beth Hart's acclaimed new album, Better Than Home, has debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and the iTunes Blues Chart. The album marks an exciting evolution in Beth's sound, and one that comes straight from her soul. Going back to her singer-songwriter roots was cathartic for Hart, who penned each song. PRESS HERE<https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/6524330/beth-hart-better-than-home-new-album-exclusive> for the full album stream of the album, which premiered via Billboard.com. PRESS HERE<https://youtu.be/nM2N4BeRkFE> to watch the video for Beth's lead single, "Mechanical Heart," which recently became one of the most-added songs at Triple A Radio. Beth will be back in the U.S. in May and June to continue her extensive worldwide tour, which currently has her playing sold out shows across Europe and Australia.

Highly revered for her visceral vocals, dynamic range and impassioned live performances, Beth has been leveling audiences for the past two decades. Better Than Home finds Beth peeling back the intimate layers of her personal pain (from the loss of her sister to AIDS, to addiction and family strife, to a difficult bipolar diagnosis) and transforming it all into something empowering and positive.
