Ann and Nancy Wilson for HEART’s First-Ever Holiday Concert
LOS ANGELES, NOV. 21, 2013 – AXS TV has one more present for its audience to unwrap on Christmas night when the Network broadcasts the first-ever holiday concert by GRAMMY® Award-winning and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee HEART. HEART’s Ann and Nancy Wilson are returning to their hometown of Seattle to stage a celebration of the season, gathering a few of their friends to join them in singing holiday classics, personal favorites and some of their own hits in the one-hour broadcast, HEART & FRIENDS: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, on Wed., Dec. 25 (Christmas) at 8 p.m ET (5 p.m. PT.)
Shawn Colvin, Sammy Hagar, Richard Marx and Pat Monahan from Train will join HEART for this once-in-a-lifetime concert which will be taped on Dec. 12 at the beautiful Benaroya Symphony Concert Hall in Seattle. The Wilson sisters will sing an array of holiday songs written by Joni Mitchell, Harry Nilsson, Bob Dylan and Hagar in their Christmas set as well as some of HEART’s favorite songs. Colvin, Hagar, Marx and Monahan will provide additional vocals on the tunes and/or sing duets with HEART.
HEART & FRIENDS: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS will showcase two songs recently recorded by Ann and Nancy that were released as a “double-A sided” single on iTunes. Ann has re-made the soulful Elvis Presley and Eagles hit “Please Come For Christmas” into a rhythm and blues song with Aaron Neville. As part of the concert, she will perform it as a duet with Monahan. Nancy wrote a new arrangement for the yuletide tune “All Through The Night,” a traditional Welsh folksong, with backing vocals by Marx. Marx will perform it with her at the holiday concert.
