Ann Wilson Live in Concert
Ann Wilson was born in San Diego, California, but due to the nature of her father's military career -- a former Marine who was also a musician and singer who once led the U.S. Marine Corps band -- the Wilson family moved around a lot before settling in Seattle, Washington. Ann Wilson first gained fame in the 1970s as the lead singer for Heart, the rock band formed in 1963 by bassist Steve Fossen and brothers Roger Fisher and Mike Fisher. In 1974, Ann's sister, Nancy Wilson, joined the band on guitar. With her powerful vocals, Ann Wilson scored several hits for Heart, including "Crazy on You" and "Magic Man" -- both of which were co-written by the Wilson sisters -- from the band's debut album, Dreamboat Annie. Heart went on to sell more than 35 million records and earned an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
In 2007, Ann Wilson released her first solo album, Hope and Glory, featuring inventive covers of songs by artists who inspired her own music. The album features guest appearances by artists including Shawn Colvin, Elton John, Wynonna Judd, Alison Krauss, k.d. lang, and Rufus Wainwright. Her sophomore solo album, 2018's Immortal, features unique covers of songs by artists who have passed on, including David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Chris Cornell, Tom Petty, Amy Winehouse, and more. In 2022, Wilson released her third solo album, Fierce Bliss. Ann Wilson continues to be considered as one of the greatest singers of all time, paving the way for new generations of female rock vocalists.
