Described by BBC Radio 2 presenter Mark Radcliffe as “the Stevie Nicks of Folk”. The south-west based singer/songwriter Alex Hart has a busy year planned with her full band and trio.Over the last year, since her release of her latest album 'Visions', Alex has teamed up with Adam Sweet (Guitarist), Paddy Blight (Bass) & Joe Harris (Drums) to bring her songs to life. The band add a phenomenal addition to the live sound and are picking up rave reviews across the country. At 18 Alex was noticed by producer Neil Stainton who honed her talent, worked with her during her early career and co-wrote and recorded her debut album ‘On This Day’. Alex also worked closely with musician and songwriter Barney Dine from Torbay with whom she co-wrote many songs from this album, songs afterwards and gigged extensively. During this time, she was able to grow as a musician and perfect her craft.
From this she collaborated with electronic duo Electronic Youth on a cover of Angie Stones’ “I Wish I Didn’t Miss You” which had huge global radio success reaching No.2 in the Music Week Dance Charts and was supported by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. This recognition spearheaded a run of high-profile festivals performances and a slot opening for UK folk sensation Turin Brakes at the Lyme Regis Folk festival. Alex’s opening performances landed her two record deals, as she was quickly snapped up by US label OK!Good Records and Right Track Records UK. Alex started working with Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer Terry Britten (famous for “What’s Love Got To Do With It” for Tina Turner) and went on to release the single ‘Life Saver’.
Following the success of Alex’s debut album, her voice and musicianship caught the eye of legendary Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre, who asked Alex to be a part of his band as a musician and vocalist for their European and international tour dates. Alex has performed and toured all over the UK/Europe with the band and has embarked on many international US tours. Alex also collaborates and performs alongside the critically acclaimed Devon born folk singer Seth Lakeman. Alex’s voice as well her multi-instrumental playing features heavily on his brandnew album. The single “Higher We Aspire” received huge BBC Radio 2 support, and Alex performed the song live on BBC Breakfast TV. Alex tours extensively with Seth as a duo, trio and part of the band. Keep a lookout for gigs across the UK.
As well as a busy touring schedule, Alex is constantly working on new music ready for new releases in 2025 and also more tours alongside Martin Barre and Seth Lakeman. Alex Hart is not only a talented vocalist, but an accomplished musician too.
