Ann Wilson promises fans an incredibly special event. “Nancy and I and the rest of Heart are thrilled to be playing with Jason (son of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham) and his band this summer. Awesome Rock n Roll music every night…miracles apt to happen any old time.” Nancy adds, “It’s not a tribute as we have the blessings of the gods themselves.”
Ann Wilson and her younger sister, Nancy Wilson, first showed the world that women can Rock when their band Heart stormed the charts in the 70s with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On,” “Even It Up,” “Kick It Out” and many more. Not only did the Wilson sisters lead the band, they wrote the songs and played the instruments, making them the first women in Rock to do so. Heart continued topping the charts through the 80s and into the 90s with huge hits like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” “Never” and a string of other hits that showcased the sisters’ enormous talents as both musicians and singers. Across four decades and 14 studio albums, Heart has sold more than 35 million records, had 21 top 40 hits, sold out arenas worldwide and profoundly influenced the sound and direction of American Rock music while inspiring women (and guys too!) around the world to Rock out in bands of their own.
On December 11th, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced the induction of Heart. The induction ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on April 18, 2013 and broadcast on HBO on May 18, 2013.
