Check out Heart at Madison Square Garden on Monday, October 21st.
As of Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024, this show has been postponed due to medical reasons in the Heart camp. Rescheduled date is to be determined.
Heart was formed by Ann and Nancy Wilson in Seatle, Washington in 1973. Heart rose to fame in the 1970s with legendary songs such as “Magic Man”, “Crazy On You”, and “Barracuda”. The band released four albums throughout this decade, and each one broke one million sales.
Heart would go on to grow rapidly in the late 1970s, with their second album, Little Queen (1977), containing “Barracuda” which reached number 11 on the Billboard charts and their fourth album, Dog & Butterfly (1978) would sell a million copies in the first month and get certified platinum by the RIAA within a year.
The band would continue to dominate in the 1980’s, with their self-titled 1985 album becoming their first number-one album, was certified 5 times platinum, and had the smash hit “What About Love”; and their follow-up, 1987’s Bad Animals, had “Alone” which was the second-biggest single of 1987, just under The Bangles “Walk Like An Egyptian”.
Heart entered the 90s with their sixth multi-platinum album entitled “Brigade”. This album featured three more top-25 Billboard Hot 100 hits – “Stranded”, “I Didn’t Want To Need You”, and “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You”. Success resumed in the early 90s and they even worked with Led Zeppelin’s bassist John Paul Jones to produce live acoustic versions of some of their most popular songs. In 1995, Nancy decided to work on starting a family and create scores for her husband’s films, effectively putting the band on hiatus.
In 2002 Nancy came back to Heart, going on her first full tour in 10 years, followed by 2004’s Jupiters Darling, Heart’s first album since 1993. In the 2010s, Heart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nancy and Ann got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and released Fanatic (2012) and Beautiful Broken (2016) before going on another hiatus.
