Rock and roll legends Heart will be performing at the Greek Theatre on Friday, October 23 with The Bangles supporting and Bob Gentry performing in the plaza before the show.

With over three decades since their inception, Heart keeps cranking out rock music in concert and on record that makes the band a living classic. After winning 2008’s Top Package honors in Billboard’s Touring Awards and being nominated for Most Creative Tour Package in Pollstar’s Concert Industry Awards for their tour with Journey and Cheap Trick, Heart continues to tour in 2009. "If you've never seen Heart play live, then frankly you haven't seen the best that rock’n’roll has to offer," notes the St. Petersburg Times, praising the band’s show as "brilliant."

The Heart sisters have also begun work on a new studio album with producer Ben Mink (k.d. lang, Barenaked Ladies, Geddy Lee) who also produced Ann Wilson’s 2007 album Hope & Glory. Plans call for an early 2010 release. Heart’s last album in 2004, Jupiter’s Darling — re-released by the band last year — was hailed as "easily the band’s finest moment in over 20 years" by All Music Guide. Entertainment Weekly declared that "the hit-making sister act of Ann and Nancy Wilson is back with a vengeance," while the San Diego Tribune noted that it boasted "some of the best songwriting ever from the group."

The prestigious ASCAP Founders Award saluted the Wilsons as songwriters who have made pioneering contributions to music by inspiring and influencing their fellow music creators and musical innovators who possess a unique style of songwriting genius that will enrich generations to come. To wit, Heart’s songs continue to be featured in numerous TV shows and on "American Idol," and three of the band’s numbers are now featured in the Guitar Hero and Rock Band video games.

2009 also marks the 30th Anniversary of Heart’s multimillion selling hit album Dog & Butterfly. Special merchandise as well as the publication of a "Dog & Butterfly" children’s book written and illustrated by Ann and Nancy Wilson will mark the occasion.
