Ann Wilson Goes It Alone
Ann Wilson has her own tour beginning in March. Venturing forth without Heart, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member begins the trek in her Seattle hometown and includes stops in Los Angeles, New Orleans, Denver, Philadelphia and Charleston.
Musicians backing Wilson on the adventure include Heart guitarist Craig Burtock, bassist Andy Stoller and drummer / percussionist Denny Fongheiser. Burtock and Stoller are Ann Wilson Thing veterans and Fongheiser drummed in Heart for two years during the ’90s.
“People can expect the unexpected in 2017,” Wilson said. “A beautiful, classy set with an elegant, artistic production. … The music will be a mix of songs that have powered my life; iconic soul-stirring covers, songs from my years of solo work and the unforgettable songs of Heart.”
Wilson will join Todd Rundgren, Melissa Etheridge, Taj Mahal, Kenny Loggins and other music greats for “The Music Of Aretha Franklin” tribute show at New York’s Carnegie Hall March 6.
