Our Journey

Recreating Heart's timeless hits live on stage

Early Years

Heart is an American rock band formed in Seattle in 1973, best known for blending hard rock, folk, and acoustic balladry—and for being fronted by two of the most powerful women in rock history, Ann and Nancy Wilson

The band evolved from earlier projects led by guitarist Roger Fisher and bassist Steve Fossen, but Heart truly took shape when Ann Wilson joined as lead singer, followed by her younger sister Nancy Wilson on guitar. Their arrival gave the band its signature sound: Ann’s soaring, operatic vocals paired with Nancy’s sharp guitar work and songwriting.

80s & 90s

Heart broke through in the mid-1970s with their debut album Dreamboat Annie (1975), which included enduring hits like “Magic Man,” “Crazy on You,” and “Dreamboat Annie.” At a time when hard rock was male-dominated, Heart stood out by delivering heavy riffs and emotional depth without fitting the era’s gender expectations.

They followed up with a string of successful albums:

• Little Queen (1977) – featuring “Barracuda”

• Dog & Butterfly (1978)

• Bébé le Strange (1980)

1980s Reinvention

After lineup changes and label shifts, Heart reinvented themselves in the 1980s with a more polished, arena-rock sound. Their self-titled album Heart (1985) marked a massive comeback, spawning hits like:

• “These Dreams”

• “What About Love”

• “Alone”

This era continued with Bad Animals (1987) and Brigade (1990), including power ballads like “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You.”

Legacy

Heart has sold over 35 million records worldwide and is widely recognized for:

• Pioneering women’s leadership in hard rock

• Balancing heavy guitar rock with introspective songwriting

• Influencing generations of female rock musicians

In 2013, Heart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cementing their place in music history.
