Nancy Wilson is celebrated as one of the most inspiring and trailblazing women in rock history. Together with her sister, Ann Wilson, they comprise the multi-platinum, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, Heart. Nancy’s revered as a guitarist, vocalist and co-writer on songs that have become staples of classic rock playlists, including “Crazy On You,” “Barracuda,” “Even It Up,” and “These Dreams.”
In addition to having sold upwards of 35 million albums in their five-decade career, Nancy and Ann recently received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy for their contributions to the world of music.
In 2021, Nancy Wilson released her debut solo album, You And Me. It’s an indelible collection of songs that includes a tribute to her mother and Edward Van-Halen as well as a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Rising.”
On Sunday, Wilson will bring her catalog of Heart hits along with a few surprises when her solo band, Nancy Wilson’s Heart, performs at the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem.
I recently spoke with Wilson about her upcoming performance in this exclusive new interview.
Q. What can fans expect from your upcoming performance at Wind Creek Event Center?
Wilson: We’ll be doing a lot of memorable Heart songs because they’re fun to do and we’re happy to do them. We’re also adding a few surprises and more cool, hip material that people know and love.
Q. Heart has a such a vast catalog of hits. How do you determine which songs you want to include in the set?
Wilson: There are the obvious ones, like “Crazy On You,” “Barracuda,” “These Dreams” and “Even it Up,” that have to be there. But there’s also a few songs from Van Halen and [Led] Zeppelin I’ve always wanted to play that are exciting and keeps things fun. We have a really good band and our singer, Kimberly Nichole (or Kim Nicky), brings a power and energy in such a graceful way. She touches people with her voice. We’re a tight, fighting unit that’s ready to rock.
