Rock super group HEART at VBC August 19
Tickets are now on sale for HEART with special guest Edwin McCain on Thursday, August 19 at 8:00 p.m. at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.
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 with hits like "Crazy on You," "Magic Man," "Barracuda," "Straight On," "Even It Up," "Kick It Out" and so many more. They continued topping the charts through the '80s and into the '90s with huge hits like "These Dreams," "Alone," "What About Love," "If Looks Could Kill," "Never," and a string of other hits that showcased the sisters' enormous talents as both musicians and singer. Along the way HEART sold more than 30 million records, had 21 top 40 hits, sold out arenas worldwide, and had a profound influence on rock music.
Edwin McCain, whose romantic voice has launched thousands of wedding proposals and marriages, has been announced as the opening act. The singer-songwriter will perform his huge hits "I'll Be," "I Could Not Ask For More" and other songs from his recently released Best of Edwin McCain, featuring the new single "Walk With You." Over a million Dr. Phil viewers voted "I'll Be" as the best wedding song ever written.
Heart's first new studio album in six years, Red Velvet Car comes out August 31 on Legacy Recordings, the label also recasting the classic Heart catalog in new physical and digital editions.
All seats to the Huntsville concert are reserved at $49 and $59, and may be purchased at the VBC Box Office (Mon-Fri 10-5) and all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.
