Heart is preparing to release its first album of new material in several years. "Red Velvet Car" is set to drop in late August, and the band is planning an expansive world tour in support of the new CD.
Heart, which features sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, has not performed in Beaumont since the mid-80s. The band is best known for its string of hits such as "Barracuda," "Magic Man," "Dreamboat Annie," "Never," "These Dreams," "Crazy on You" and others.
"In addition to recording so many hit songs, both of these groups have greatly influenced future generations of music," said John Hughes, general manager of Ford Park, in a press release. "We are excited to bring these two legendary bands together in Ford Arena."
All seats for the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Heart concert are reserved. Visit www.FordPark.com for more information or purchase online at www.ticketmaster.com. Read more...

Ann Wilson Reno Gazette-Journal Interview
6/11/10
Jason Kellner|Reno Gazette-Journal
"People always go back to songs that have a story to them and have an emotional appeal that they can apply to themselves," (Ann)Wilson said. "A lot of people, no matter what age they are, they always come back to that. At this point, we've been around for a lot of people all their lives, so we're just sort of like old friends," she said with a laugh.
Wilson said that Heart has been lucky that they've been able to keep their health and their sound completely intact, which keeps people buying their tickets.
"We're still doing the original songs in the original keys, and doing the most challenging of our songs that are really high and rock really hard," Wilson said. "It's all about health. If you're young or older, the prime concern you have to have on the road is your health. You have to get enough rest and have enough common sense about partying. I think there's nothing more disappointing than going to see a show and the singer doesn't even try to hit the high notes. They screw it up, and you can tell that they're not at their best."

Two New Heart Songs - Listen Now!
Two new songs from Red Velvet Car are now streaming on Heart's Myspace!
Listen to the tracks Hey You and WTF Here.
Listen to 'Hey You' on AOL Radio
6/9/10
Heart's new song 'Hey You,' off of the group's new album 'Red Velvet Car,' manages to find a unique balance between its lyrically pensive tone, and its musically lighthearted complexion. In short, 'Hey You' is the perfect summer ballad to remind your special someone that, "You are a one of kind / You are some kind of fine."
'Red Velvet Car,' produced by Ben Mink, will hit stores on Aug. 31, and represents the group's first studio album in six years. To celebrate their return to music's main stage, Heart will be making appearances at a number of high-profile music festivals this summer, including Lilith Fair performances in Kansas City, Chicago, San Francisco and Minneapolis.
To listen to 'Hey You,' tune in to the Female Focus station on AOL Radio.
Thanks TDHS from the Heartlinker!
Heart Sacramento Review/Video
6/3/10
Hagar/Heart Rock Sacramento
by Michael Althouse|Sacramento Press
I started going to rock concerts in the late 70s. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, virtually every major tour made a stop at one of several large, local venues.
Many of those bands have long since disbanded and, unfortunately, many of those musicians have since passed away. However, some have proved resilient and are still performing with the same intensity and passion they did more than 30 years ago.
Two of those bands, Heart and Sammy Hagar, graced the stage at Raley Field in West Sacramento Sunday night for a benefit concert culminating Hope Productions Foundation’s Walk ‘n Rock event. Although both groups have undergone personnel changes throughout the years, both have maintained a presence in the industry for the long haul. Neither are resurrections from some bygone era; both are still active and judging from the near capacity crowd Sunday night, both enjoy long-term fan loyalty.
Prior to headliner Sammy Hagar, Heart, featuring sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, took the stage. The opening number, “Fire,” demonstrated the Wilson sisters’ versatility with lead singer Ann Wilson on the flute and younger sister Nancy on guitar. The next four songs (“Heartless,” “Never,” “Straight On” and “These Dreams”) were an anthology of Heart hits highlighting the band’s breadth and laser-like precision. From Heart's soon to be released album, “Red Velvet Car,” the band debuted two tracks, including the title track, before performing a version of “Alone” featuring only Nancy Wilson on acoustic guitar, keyboardist Debbie Shair and lead vocals from Ann Wilson. The set was rounded out with the powerful 1970s classics “Magic Man,” “Crazy on You,” and closed with “Barracuda.” A two-song encore consisted of a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “What Is and What Should Never Be” followed by the band’s 1985 hit, “What About Love.”
Although I am a journalist and a writer and I have “reviewed” various performances in the past, I am not in even the remotest sense a music critic or reviewer. I am a fan and have been for many years. My impression of both bands’ performance is from that entirely personal perspective. The music quality is derived from two distinct but intersecting points of view: That of the music itself and the performance of it live. The Wilson sisters are consummate musicians and songwriters and the performance showcased their talents as both, but it is easy to write about the instruments played, the intricacy of the music and the mixing of the sounds. More difficult to relate is the connection made with the audience. This band knows why they do what they do and their appreciation is evident in the energy they bring to the live performance – even after more than 30 years. It is a not something that can be faked and the Wilson sisters made their audience feel like their performance was a personal effort to reach each and every individual who attended. Read the complete review here.
