Heart

Heart, the iconic American rock band, emerged from the vibrant music scene of the 1970s and quickly solidified their place as one of the most influential and enduring acts in the history of rock and roll. Anchored by the powerhouse vocals of sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, Heart transcended genres, blending hard rock with folk and balladry to create a sound uniquely their own.

Formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1973, Heart began as a humble group called The Army, fronted by guitarist Roger Fisher. The lineup underwent changes, and soon the Wilson sisters joined forces, bringing a fresh and dynamic energy to the band. The classic lineup was born: Ann Wilson on lead vocals and Nancy Wilson on guitar and vocals, alongside Howard Leese, Michael Derosier, and Steve Fossen.

Heart's breakthrough came with their debut album, "Dreamboat Annie," released in 1976. The album showcased the Wilson sisters' remarkable songwriting and vocal prowess, featuring timeless tracks like "Magic Man" and "Crazy on You." The band's ability to seamlessly blend hard rock with folk elements set them apart in an era dominated by male-fronted rock bands.

The 1980s brought even greater success for Heart. Albums like "Little Queen," "Dog and Butterfly," and "Heart" spawned hits like "Barracuda," "Straight On," and "Even It Up." The Wilson sisters' stage presence and Ann's unparalleled vocal range became legendary, earning them a devoted fan base and critical acclaim.

As the '80s gave way to the '90s, Heart continued to evolve, adapting to changing musical landscapes. The album "Brigade" in 1990 produced the chart-topping power ballad "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You," showcasing the band's ability to connect with audiences across different styles.

Heart's resilience and enduring appeal were further demonstrated with their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, a testament to their impact on the music industry. The band's discography, spanning decades, reflects their versatility and willingness to explore new sounds while staying true to their rock roots.

Beyond their musical achievements, Ann and Nancy Wilson have also contributed to the empowerment of women in the male-dominated rock scene, inspiring generations of female musicians.

As Heart continues to captivate audiences around the world with their electrifying performances, their legacy remains etched in the annals of rock history, a testament to the enduring power of their music and the indomitable spirit of the Wilson sisters.

It’s a creative chemistry that has, to date, yielded sales of well over thirty million albums, with over twenty Top 40 hits and live shows that sell out stadiums whenever and wherever Heart performs. Fans come out to hear chart-toppers such as “Magic,” “Crazy On You,” “Barracuda,” “Kick It Out,” “How Can I Refuse?” and many more. The band returned in 2004 to release Jupiters Darling, the first new studio album from Heart in nearly a dozen years and a convincing case that the fire and spirit of real rock & roll is alive and well. 2013 was the year Heart was inducted to the rock & roll hall of fame, with the original band members reuniting for the first time in over 30 years to play. Simply put, following their creative impulses has made Heart one of the most innovative and enduring musical partnerships of our time.,
