Beth Hart Delivers a Raw, Soul-Baring Performance in Nashville

Ryman Auditorium — Nashville, TN | February 16, 2022

Beth Hart commanded the stage at the Ryman Auditorium on February 16, 2022, delivering an emotionally charged performance built on vulnerability, power, and absolute conviction. In a venue known for its honesty and acoustics, Hart’s voice and presence felt especially at home—unfiltered and fearless.

The night’s most gripping moments came during widely loved standouts like “Leave the Light On,” “Bang Bang Boom Boom,” and “LA Song (Out of This Town),” each performed with a level of intensity that held the room in near silence before erupting into applause. Hart moved seamlessly between piano and center stage, letting the songs breathe while maintaining total command of the audience. Her vocal delivery ranged from tender restraint to full-throated release, often within the same song.

Additional selections included Savior With a Razor, Chocolate Jesus, Rub Me for Luck, Spirit of God, Sister Heroine, and Tell Her You Belong to Me, rounding out a set that leaned heavily on emotional depth rather than polish.

There was no opening act, allowing the evening to unfold at Hart’s pace and keeping the focus squarely on her connection with the audience.

The Nashville performance reaffirmed Beth Hart’s reputation as one of the most compelling live vocalists touring today—uncompromising, authentic, and deeply affecting.
