Hearts Ann and Nancy Wilson returned to their hometown of Seattle to
stage a celebration of the Christmas season, gathering a few of their
friends to join them in singing holiday classics, personal favorites
and some of their own hits.
Special guests Shawn Colvin, Sammy
Hagar, Richard Marx and Pat Monahan from Train joined HEART for this
once-in-a-lifetime concert, which was taped on Dec. 12 2013 at the
beautiful Benaroya Symphony Concert Hall in Seattle. The Wilson sisters
performed 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 provided
additional vocals on the tunes and/or sing duets with Heart.
Heart
and Friends: 'Home for the Holidays' ended a prolific and award-winning
2013 for Heart, who have been enjoying a resurgence of popularity since
2010s 'Red Velvet Car', which was the group s first Top 10 album in 20
years. Many successful live shows and tours (including a 2011 tour with
Def Leppard, and their 2013 Heartbreaker tour) have occurred with 2012
seeing the release of 'Strange Euphoria', a definitive career-spanning
box set; the arrival of 'Kicking and Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul,
and Rock and Roll', a best-selling autobiography; the announcement of
Ann and Nancy Wilsons Heart star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the

list of awards, Heart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
