Hola humans,
Another Summer.
How lucky are we?
Let’s smile in celebration.
If you’ve listened to our latest release, “Ann Wilson & Tripsitter – Live In Concert,” I want to say thank you. I’ve been told that it’s just surpassed 500,000 streams!
That was a damn fine show. Recorded in Nashville last year, the set featured lots of Heart songs, a few covers as well as a healthy dose from our latest studio album, Another Door.
If you haven’t, please go & have a listen & then let us know about your listening experience in a comment on our Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. We will be gifting some signed cds & some very rare vinyls to our favorite commenters in the coming days!
Now is the time to check under the hood.
Revisit basics if need be.
Tighten bolts and tune horns.
Freshen it all up and recharge batteries!
Come April 20th, Heart begins a world tour.
Stay tuned to my email list because I’ll be launching some special contests in select cities on this year’s tour – & by the way these contests will also be related to Ann Wilson & Tripsitter’s record, Another Door, so keep listening!
Me & Tripsitter just put out a live version of “Miss One & Only” from our PBS special. It’s probably my favorite track from Another Door. Feel free to share it with someone you know who might dig it.
We’re proud of this record. So much so, in fact, that we (Ann Wilson & Tripsitter) are currently getting sketches together for another record later on!
I’ve seen narratives floating around in the press that Heart is planning to record but just so you all know, that is not the case at this time. Right now we are focused on our exciting world tour!
Heart will be performing in some very cool places this year – and, yes, we’ll be playing the hits that we all love. I’m grateful to each of you for buying tickets, paying for hotels, gas, babysitters & for everything else that comes with taking a trip out to hear us play.
It’s so damn cool & I want you all to know that I see you & I thank you. We plan to give you a show to remember! See you soon!!
And many of you have been asking how to get the new double live record, “Ann Wilson & Tripsitter – Live In Concert.” Well, it’s slightly complicated, but follow these instructions and you shouldn’t have a problem;
I’m thrilled to share with you this EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE of “This Is Now” from our upcoming PBS Special, “Ann Wilson & Tripsitter – Live In Concert,” airing on many U.S. PBS stations on Friday, November 24th. The initial broadcast is part of the PBS Holiday Pledge Drive which will feature a limited number of CDs and Double LPs called “Ann Wilson & Tripsitter – Live In Concert.” Don’t miss your chance to score one and support great television. It’s our first live record and we’re very proud of it.
November 24th can be a day for us all to celebrate this album together. Not only does the PBS special start broadcasting – it’s also the world-wide release date for the Another Door vinyl LP, which is how this record was made to be heard.
I hope you’re enjoying the “Ruler of the Night” live video we just put out on our YouTube channel & I thank every one of you who entered our “This Is Now” karaoke competition! You really brought it with your renditions & I really appreciate the hard work you each put into those. I’ll be selecting a winner in the coming weeks & you’ll be the first to know who I’ve selected. Well done, all of you & thank you!
I feel so much gratitude right now. This year has been an incredible one – and it ain’t over yet! I’ve got some more press to do this week but I’m mostly getting rested & ready for the next batch of shows. Tripsitter & I can’t wait to see you out there soon!
Love & respect always,
Ann Wilson

Tripsitter & I have been blown away by the response, thus far, to ANOTHER DOOR.
Thank you all for listening & for passing around this new music. We do read your comments/reviews & we’re totally honored that you’re digging what we’ve been dishing.
The worldwide release date for the ANOTHER DOOR vinyl is November 24th (the same day that Ann Wilson & Tripsitter – Live in Concert airs on PBS.) Pre-order the vinyl here.
Now, there are 2 doors for us to open today…
Behind door number 1, there’s a new video about the making of our next single, “Ruler of the Night!”
We’ll be releasing a live video next week that features both “Ruler of the Night” and “Love Alive” from our recent San Antonio, TX show so stay tuned for that. There we’ll have a song from ANOTHER DOOR paired with a song by that other band I sing for sometimes….
And speaking of that other band… behind door number 2, there’s a Heart show happening in Seattle on New Year’s Eve. Yes, it’s true. Heart, featuring Nancy Wilson, Ryan Waters, Ryan Wariner, Paul Moak, Tony Lucido, Sean T. Lane & myself, is revving up its engine for one big, cool night of music. Those tickets go on sale today right here.
ANOTHER DOOR & Heart are both in orbit now. Together.
Our universe is expanding but the mission is always to level up & this year’s tour has been an incredible showing of what we’re capable of.
We just got home from a great run of shows & I’m happily back to sleeping on a bed that isn’t rolling down a twisted freeway at 3am. We’ll be out there again at the end of November though, through the end of the year. Please come out to a show if you can! These new songs are breathing deeper & deeper by the night.
Thank you all & we’ll see you very soon!
Love & respect,
Ann Wilson
P.S. There are only 4 days left to enter the “This Is Now” karaoke contest! Those details can be found here.

Now, calling all singers! Caleb Johnson is helping us announce a new karaoke contest that begins TODAY!
Sing “This Is Now” for a chance to win the hand-written lyric sheet ripped straight out of the notebook I used while recording ANOTHER DOOR. In order to enter, please record yourself singing over the “This Is Now” instrumental track found here & then send your video to criss@annwilson.com using WeTransfer or Google Drive.
You have until Halloween to submit. I’ll select a winner in November & that winner will receive their one-of-a-kind hand-written lyric sheet for “This Is Now” by year’s end!
And if you haven’t already, mark your calendars for November 24, 2023 because there are two cool things happening on that date; 1) PBS airs “Ann Wilson & Tripsitter – Live In Concert” and 2) Another Door is released on vinyl worldwide!
Those of you in Europe, please spread the news of the album dropping & anyone in the US, please share the tour dates with anyone you know who might be interested.
We thank you for the support & we can’t wait to hear what you think about the album!
The four Tripsitter guys (Sean T. Lane, Paul Moak, Ryan Wariner & Tony Lucido) will be taking your questions later today so check out the record & then go straight to them for all of the behind-the-scenes gossip! We will post the link to our socials when they go live at 3pm Central.
And mark your calendars for November 24, 2023, because that’s when PBS will be broadcasting, “Ann Wilson & Tripsitter: Live in Concert” which features a few songs from Another Door as well as classics like “Crazy On You” & “Barracuda.” It sounds & looks fantastic & it’s a real honor for us to be working with PBS on this. We hope you dig it!
Anyone who’s pre-ordered the record by September 29 will automatically be entered to win an autographed test pressing!
Another Door houses 11 original songs by Ann Wilson & Tripsitter (Tony Lucido, Sean T. Lane, Ryan Wariner, Paul Moak) with Tom Bukovac & it’s out in two weeks!
We can’t wait for you to take this ride with us.
Get those headphones charged!
Thank you each always for the support and we will see you back out on the road next week!
We’re out on the road right now & taking every opportunity to soak in the NOW!
Seeing all of your beautiful faces from the stage each night is something I never take for granted. And your responses to the new songs have been beyond gratifying for me.
Tony, Sean, Ryan & Paul (my Tripsitter brothers) and I thank you so much for coming out & for supporting these shows. We get to make magic for a living thanks to you.
And we really can’t wait for you to hear this new record!
We’re setting loose the first single from Another Door, “This Is Now,” on September 15, so to give you a taste of what to expect, here’s a freshly mixed rendition we performed last month in Eau Claire, WI. Put on some headphones & breathe deep while listening!
I’m also thrilled to announce a new opportunity for YOU to become a part of our team by joining The fANNtastics!
What is The fANNtastics, you ask? Well, it’s a super cool club! A brand new, hot as all heck coming-together of humans that dig the music we’re making and are willing to help us spread the word! We are looking for a few of you to help share the experience. And there will be perks for being part of the inner circle.
And the best part is, it’s FREE to join!
Discover all of the details here. Space is LIMITED so sign up NOW.
We are extending a special opportunity to anyone that signs up in the first 24 hours!
If you choose to join The fANNtastics on DAY 1 (THAT’S TODAY!) you will be considered ‘DAY 1 MEMBERS’ and I shall deliver your first ‘special assignment.’
Tripsitter & I are having a blast out here on the road! From Dublin, OH to Minneapolis, MN, each audience has been just fantastic & full of light!
We’re performing Heart stuff, a few cool covers, and, perhaps best of all, we’re debuting some new songs from our upcoming album.
We’re also happy to share that PBS will be filming at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, TN on July 25 for a program titled “Great Performances.” The show is scheduled to air later in the fall. You’re not going to want to miss this one!
We can’t wait for you to hear what we’ve been cooking up and we can’t wait to play some of these songs live for the first time! Thank you each always for listening & for supporting us. Love & respect.
– Ann

I’m immensely proud of it & all of the grit & tenderness that went into it. It’s an ultra-real album that I’ve always wanted to make. So breathe it in, perhaps on a drive in the countryside & pass it around to others that you feel might dig it. This record is for me & for all of you. Thank you always for your support & The Amazing Dawgs & I can’t wait to see you out there soon in your neck of the woods!
Our tour launches next week & we’ll be out for a while now, so please catch us when you can!
We’ve also released videos for Greed, A Moment In Heaven & Love Of My Life, which features the fantastic Vince Gill. You’ll want to see those if you haven’t yet!
Please be well out there, my friends & don’t forget to nap when you need to.

Hola humans,
As the days grow longer, there’s much to be grateful for.
To all who leave such beautiful words on our social pages, just know that I see you & I thank you sincerely. Without your support who knows where I’d be. Probably livin’ in a van down by some river.
Because of you, we’re getting the chance to hit the road in a major way once again this year!
If you haven’t already, please check out the complete list of tour dates on our website. This is going to be a busy year for us & we couldn’t be more thrilled to see so many dates making their way onto our calendars again.
We’ve put out three singles so far this year, the latest being ”A Moment In Heaven” (watch & listen here) & the full album Fierce Bliss arrives on April 29!
With these last couple of years now behind us, I’ll bet we move forward with more presence than ever before. And with a deepened respect for what we have & what we’re able to do.
Let’s honor our time together.
Let’s sing, dance & be happy together.
Let’s celebrate the NOW together.
Thank you again, all of you.
Love & respect,
Ann

‘Greed’ is that thing in our animal nature that makes us want more and more. Whether it be money, sex, power or ecstasy, it fires our craving and it happens with all of us. When you turn around and catch yourself making decisions because you want the money, or because you’re caught in the headlights of ego, or taking advantage of other people…. well, those are greedy moments.
I think people who claim to have made every decision from a base of pure, healthy idealism, who claim to have never done anything dark or selfish, are lying. I think anyone who ventures into the music industry ( or any competitive industry ) hoping for a career with big success, ends up making these Faustian bargains at some point… if only briefly.
‘Greed’ is an aggressive song and I think I write well when I’m angry. When I write, that may just be my greediest time. LOL
Check it out and turn it up!
I had originally intended to go into any old studio, record a few songs and see what I had, but ‘Fierce Bliss’ quickly took on a life of It’s own. We went into the famous muscle Shoals FAME studio and all of a sudden, where there was no record before, I magically had eleven cool songs that I really liked. It’s a super cool record with lots of energy and vibe.
To cap it all, the album artwork comes from the mind and hands of celebrated fantasy artist Roger Dean, who aside from his work in fantasy art is also renowned for his brilliant sleeve artwork done for the group Yes.
And now… (drum roll)…. we’ve got the first string of tour dates to announce!
We sure hope to see you out on the road this year! Thank you always for the support and stay healthy so you can party in 2022 with Me and the Amazing Dawgs!
-Ann

People in different cultures celebrate the turning of the year at different times and in different ways. For me, winter is the natural time to huddle, sleep and grow like the seeds do as they get ready for their big show in the spring.
These last couple of years have been full of challenge, revelation and rapid change, sometimes making us feel as if we are in a clothes dryer on spin cycle. How flexible can we be? I feel you… the same is happening in my life! Everything’s in motion.
Life is change. It picks us up in one place and sets us down somewhere else. Look around and really see what’s around you… who’s around you. It all could be beautiful!
Out with then… in with now!
Should you feel so inclined, our full performance from Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom this last August is now available to watch on our YouTube channel. We’ve been pumping out lots of new videos in 2021 and this is only the beginning.
Love & respect to you & yours always
Ann
P.S. Fierce Bliss is coming in 2022…
Hello friends,
The Amazing Dawgs and I recently returned from a mini-tour in Florida and are happy to announce we will be performing more concerts in August. Ticket information can be found here.
Another exciting announcement is our revamped website featuring an entire discography of both Heart and Ann Wilson solo material. You can now listen to decades of music for free: www.annwilson.com
The Tunnel to Towers show on August 21, 2021, honors Stephen Siller, a Brooklyn firefighter who had just finished his shift on September 11, 2001, when he learned of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center. He returned to the firehouse, strapped 60 pounds of gear to his back, and raced to the Twin Towers where he saved many, but ultimately sacrificed his own life. Stephen’s life and heroic death remind us to live life to the fullest and to give back to others. “While we have time, let us do good” are words Stephen lived by.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation pays off mortgages of law enforcement officers and firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty or who suffer from a 9/11-related illness. The Foundation provides mortgage-free Smart Homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, as well as mortgage-free homes for surviving spouses of military members with young children.
Ann will perform a short set at Jones Beach on August 21st at the Never Forget Concert. The concert will benefit the Tunnels To Towers Foundation www.t2t.org who have done much to help the families of victims of 911. The concert is also being recorded for future broadcast.
A quick note from traveling in our RV to say I miss you. How have you been?
I am always inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the US west! Everyone should make it a point to drive through the Southwest at some point. The mountains and high plains are a real feast for the soul.
Just had a great week in Muscle Shoals recording more new songs (photo in the vocal booth). We had a visit from a very special guest with whom I sang a duet. Can’t wait for you to hear!
I experienced my first “slaw dog” in Muscle Shoals…a favorite of the musicians there. Highly recommend!
PS – If you have questions for me in the days ahead – visit Ask Ann
Traveling with the puppies, Homer and Yang, has been lots of fun! They are settling into road life well and are already well bonded with their Mum and Dad.
The Hammer talks about that moment when the rubber meets the road, when all dreams, fantasies, and excuses fall by the wayside. The moment of truth. The edge of reality.
In recording this song, we took everything out that was extra and went for the rock jugular. Tyler Boley’s uber guitar and Dan Walker’s B3 organ give a vintage taste but a timeless feel.
We had a great time recording this one, remembering that in reality, there are no rules of engagement where real rock is concerned. The band got just as passionate as the lyrics!
My earliest broken heart happened when I found out beyond any denial that I was being cheated on…and that he loved her. I was being tolerated for what I could provide, security-wise. I earned the money and made the home but I was no longer the preferred lover. I couldn’t handle that reality.
Tender Heart is about coming to terms with an inescapable truth. The opening lyric is “When a tender heart breaks…” refers to a naive, trusting heart —not one hardened by experience and hard realities —getting stabbed in its deepest place. Another lyric, “And innocence is still a part… of your sore and tender heart…” — the innocence here is that invincible belief in the beauty and purity of love.
This song was written on tour in 2019. The words were first written as prose and later set to music. It was quick — maybe two hours on the words and an hour on the music. Each song takes a different process and some are harder. This one was easy.
Tender Heart came out of a personal struggle, but quickly evolved into a greater, more universal meaning. We as the human race are coming to realize realities we never dreamed we’d have to face: environmentally, culturally, financially, and health-wise. Humanity is coming to terms with uncomfortable, heartbreaking, terrifying truths.
This song is for the soul whose heart is blindsided by reality but is still soft and innocent. I hope people will identify with this song and feel they are not alone.
You can download the song now ahead of release for free here, please feel free to share.
Love and respect,
Ann

It is hard to believe it’s already been two years since my solo album, “Immortal” was released. My friend Chris wrote the song “I Am The Highway” which I love and I have covered on that record. It’s a slightly different take on the song than Chris’s and I hope you enjoy it!
Also please check out “Mind Wide Open” https://mindwideopenproject.com hosted by Lily Cornell. She’s amplifying the conversation around trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and other challenges to try to help reduce the stigma surrounding all mental health issues. I’ve watched her grow into an impressive, intelligent, and talented young woman and I’m very proud of her; proud of what she’s doing. Check it out.
Love and respect,
Ann

Hola,
Our sold-out show scheduled for August 18th at The Arcada Theater was canceled for safety reasons due to COVID-19. Bummer! We were very excited about this performance, so we teamed up with Arcada to stream select songs from our last show performed there. I can’t wait to return and perform there in the future and hope you will appreciate this great footage in the meantime.
Can you believe it’s been 45 years since our first 45 record was released?!
It seems like only yesterday I was writing Magic Man in Vancouver BC. It was the third song written for Dreamboat Annie. (‘Here Song’ and ‘How Deep it Goes’ were the first two.)
The first time I heard Magic Man on the radio I was coming back from the grocery store with my dog, Moffa and I had to pull over and listen….it was so surreal. I remember Moffa growled a little because she recognized my voice and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from.
The way Heart performed Magic Man in 2019 on the Love Alive tour was the most out of the box to date. It’s my favorite version so far.
I’m looking forward to seeing YOUR renditions of Magic Man, even if it is just a verse or two. The submission does not even need to be in English, feel free to submit all languages and interpretations of the song. Simply visit annwilson.com/magicmanto enter!
Magic Man Karaoke Contest – Send a cellphone or other karaoke video of you or yours performing Magic Man for a chance to win 5 different Ann Wilson prize packs.
Perform as a group over Zoom, by yourself, with your kids or whatever you want!Click here or the image below for more details.

Hello Humans,

All of the posters are numbered and hand-signed by Michael DuBois. There is a limited amount also hand-signed by Ann Wilson.
We are happy to announce a limited amount of VIP experience add-on packages to the upcoming Ann Wilson Spring Thing Tour. There will be a private tour and an opportunity to meet Ann!

We are happy to announce leg 1 of the Ann Wilson of Heart 2020 Tour. You can expect Ann Wilson originals, Heart classics, and more! Come join us starting April 30th.
Re-entry into normal life is never easy for me. Never has been. When I’m on tour, my one mission every day is to be healthy and strong, focused, and energized.
This time I got a jump on returning home. I bought an electric piano and already have 3 songs I am working on. Stay tuned for updates.
In addition to making new music, I am partnering with dude do it now and offering some of my own items as well as some collaborative pieces with other artists. “dude do it now” is an online marketplace that showcases one-of-a-kind products that support local small businesses.
Love and Respect,
Ann

Last month I played the Love Rocks NYC event with some really great artists including Robert Plant, Sheryl Crow, Nancy Wilson, Bill Murray, and many more talented artists. It was a good time for a good cause. If you missed it, below you can find the performance for “Crazy on You”.
We are doing some Spring cleaning! Out with the old – in with the new. We have a deal right now for the mystery shirt two pack for only $10.00 while supplies last!
Love and Respect,
Ann

In addition to on sale items, we have a newly released limited print (150 produced) Ann Wilson black and white poster. Have a gander here.
‘Immortal’ is a collection of classic songs honoring some of our finest artists who have recently passed. These are expressions that deserve to be handed down and discovered anew in our time; artists who left indelible carvings on our hearts.
‘Immortal’ was recorded to tape in the old school way, bringing out the warmth and presence that digital recording freezes out. It is a collection that is good accompaniment on a run through the city with earbuds, or a detailed excursion while lying on the floor with headphones. Also great for dancing!! Watch out!
