Ann and Nancy Wilson entered 2023 as nominees for possible induction into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, which would take place in New York City in June.
Meanwhile, the New Year broke with news that the pair would receive a Lifetime Achievement Award as part of the 2023 Grammy Awards during a February 4 event in Los Angeles, CA; artists are selected by vote of the Recording Academy's National Trustees to performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field.
As the Wilson sisters failed to garner enough support for entry into the 2023 Songwriters Hall of Fame in June, Ann launched a summer tour of North America in support of her latest album, “Fierce Bliss”, in July: the project includes a mix of original tracks and songs recorded by the Eurythmics, Robin Trower, and Queen, and featured guest appearances by Vince Gill, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and all four members of Gov’t Mule: Warren Haynes, Danny Louis, Jorgen Carlsson and Matt Abts.
During the summer series, Ann announced plans for the September release of a new album, “Another Door”, which she recorded with her backing band Tripsitter.
Nancy reunited on stage with Ann for the Heart classic, “Barracuda”, during the singer’s October 10 concert in Santa Rosa, CA.
While the Wilson sisters have been working on solo projects in recent years, they will play their first concert together in four years as Heart for a New Year’s Eve show in their original hometown of Seattle, WA, where they will be joined by guests Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening.
