How Heart Survived the Early Days: The Surprising True Story of Stealing Bachman Turner Overdrive’s Food
Heart, the legendary rock band with almost five decades of headlining experience, reminisces about their early years opening for Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) and the unexpected assistance they received from the Canadian rockers. Ann Wilson, one-half of the Wilson sisters, recalls raiding BTO’s dressing room for food during their hungry days as struggling musicians in the mid-70s. The Thanksgiving spreads left by BTO unknowingly fed the aspiring Seattle-based group, leaving a lasting impression on them.
Fast forward to the present day, Heart is embarking on the Royal Flush Tour, reuniting with friends and sharing the stage with iconic bands like Cheap Trick and Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening. The tour marks Heart’s return to the spotlight after a hiatus since 2019, during which Ann Wilson released a solo album and Nancy Wilson’s Heart played select shows. The pandemic and personal challenges kept the band apart, but the Wilson sisters are now back on track, ready to rock once again.
Nancy Wilson describes the tour as a culmination of hard work and dedication, emphasizing the joy of performing live for their devoted fans. The band premiered a new song, “Roll The Dice,” at their comeback shows, hinting at future releases from their extensive music archives. Fans can expect a mix of classic hits and fresh material as Heart takes the stage on their Royal Flush Tour, spanning North America and Europe.
