About the performer courtesy the Stiefel Theatre
Ann Wilson, known the world over as a founder and the lead singer-songwriter of the barrier-breaking band Heart, is here to stay. Widely praised among the greatest singers in the history of rock, Wilson’s extraordinarily powerful voice has been sending chills down her audience’s collective spine for more than five decades, earning record sales of more than 35 million, an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award.
Barracuda, Crazy On You, and Magic Man are among the many songs she’s written that now reside in the pantheon of rock’s greatest hits. Greed from 2022’s Fierce Bliss plays seamlessly alongside the classics in her current live set. This past year, Wilson sang with Disturbed’s frontman David Draiman on the duet, Don’t Tell Me from their recently released Divisive album, and lent her voice to Dolly Parton’s forthcoming rock record.
From Dreamboat Annie to Disturbed, to Dolly Parton and beyond, Wilson defies genre. Prior to starting their summer tour, Ann Wilson & Tripsitter have been putting the finishing touches on a new album of original material. This year, Wilson brings her show to venues everywhere with the same vigor and verve that she brought that one memorable night in front of Led Zeppelin at The Kennedy Center. You know the clip.
