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, and the music scene has never been the same since.

Whether it was hits “Crazy On You,” “Magic Man,” or “Barracuda” – the first decade they performed – or later works like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” or “What About Love” of the ’80s and ’90s, their music has had a profound influence on rock music.

The Sept. 23, 7:30 p.m. Heart concert is part of Columbia Bank’s Puyallup Fair Concert Series. Tickets go on sale Feb. 14 at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster. Prices are $20, $30, $36, $40, $50 for Golden Circle, and include Fair gate admission, and seats are reserved.

Since their start, Seattle-based Heart has sold more than 30 million records, had 21 Top 40 hits, and sold out arenas worldwide. Their work as both musicians and singers continues to this day.

In the mid-’90s, Ann and Nancy returned to Seattle and formed The Lovemongers, with long-time collaborator Sue Ennis and performer Frank Cox. Lovemongers cut Led Zeppelin’s “Battle of Evermore” for the triple platinum soundtrack from the movie, Singles, which was one of Nancy Wilson’s first musical collaborations with her husband, filmmaker Cameron Crowe. They worked together on Jerry Maguire, the Grammy and Oscar winning Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, and Elizabethtown. In late-2006 Nancy lent her songwriting and production talents to the movie, P.S. I Love You, starring Hillary Swank.

Ann and Nancy reunited as Heart in early 2002, releasing a critically acclaimed live concert film on DVD and CD, Heart Alive In Seattle, followed two years later by Jupiters Darling, their first new album in a decade.

In 2006, they kicked off the touring year with a VH1 Tribute special, and were honored the following year at VH1 2007 Rock Honors. DirecTV broadcast a 30th anniversary concert special of Dreamboat Annie, and later that year Ann Wilson produced album Hope & Glory, her first-ever solo project, with a range of guest star participants, including Elton John, k d lang, Gretchen Wilson, Wynonna Judd, and Alison Krauss.

In 2008, Ann and Nancy joined Fergie for a special performance of “Barracuda” on American Idol Gives Back, before a 40-plus city tour with Journey and Cheap Trick. Visit: www.heart-music.com/.
