LOS ANGELES, CA – March 11, 2013 -- 2013 Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame inductees, HEART, will take their critically acclaimed live
show on the road this summer with very special guest JASON BONHAM’S LED
ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE. Ann and Nancy Wilson first met Jason Bonham, son of famed
Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham, when they performed “Stairway to Heaven”
together at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin in December
2012. Over 6 million fans have watched
the performance online and purchased the track on ITunes. Now, in addition to a full set of Heart
classic hits including “Crazy on You,” “Barracuda,” “Alone,” “These Dreams,”
“What About Love,” and many more, fans can experience this historical pairing
live when Heart and Bonham close each show with a special thirty-minute finale
tribute to Led Zeppelin.
Ann Wilson promises fans an incredibly special event. “Nancy
and I and the rest of Heart are thrilled to be playing with Jason and his band
this summer. Awesome rock n roll music everynight...miracles apt to happen any
old time." Nancy adds, “It's not a
tribute as we have the blessings of the gods themselves.”
Jason adds, "What
a great night it was for us at the Kennedy Center awards, and now to be able to
do it again on the road with Ann and Nancy is such an honor for me. I am really
looking forward to taking my Led Zep Experience show out this summer with Heart
and to join them in a Zep-a-thon closing the show as well. Just fantastic!”

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.
In
2010, Heart released its first album in a dozen years. Red
Velvet Car received both critical and commercial acclaim, debuting in the
Top 10 in Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart.
In 2012, Ann and Nancy released a memoir, “Kicking & Dreaming: A
Story of Heart, Soul and Rock & Roll,” which became an immediate New York Times best seller. They also released a definitive box set,
“Strange Euphoria,” a carefully considered anthology of biggest hits and best-loved
songs set alongside deep catalog treasures, rarities, demos and live
performances, on three compact discs and one DVD in a deluxe box. In addition, they released a new album, “Fanatic,” which features three hit
singles, the title track “Fanatic,” “Walking Good” featuring Sarah McLachlan,
and “Dear Old America.” The Wilson
Sisters were also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On
December 11, 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.
