It takes a lot of heart to let people in like this, but Ann Wilson is ready to take the leap.
On Tuesday (March 17), the Heart frontwoman announced that she’ll embark on a 10-stop North American tour to screen her forthcoming documentary In My Voice. After each screening, Wilson will participate in a live Q&A alongside director Barbara Hall (Madam Secretary, Army Wives).
Wilson is a singer/songwriter and frontwoman of the legendary rock band Heart. Coming up in the male-dominated rock scene in the ’70s, Wilson faced more than her fair share of misogyny in the music industry. Yet, she never let it stop her. Instead, she took her anger and penned “Barracuda,” a top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hit that would go on to become one of Heart’s signature songs, in 1977. Since then, Heart continued to grow as one of the biggest rock acts of the ’70s and ’80s, even earning a place on Billboard‘s list of 50 best rock bands.
Now, five decades after the formation of Heart, Wilson is sharing her story. As the title suggests, In My Voice is Wilson’s tale told in her own words. The documentary explores Wilson’s life from growing up a military child to becoming a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Fans will get to see highlights pulled from Wilson’s archive of home movies, journals, photographs and never-before-seen footage. Wilson’s family members, bandmates and fellow artists will make cameos and share commentary on Wilson’s incredible life.
“The most important lesson I’ve learned along the long and winding road is to thine own self, be true,” Wilson says in the teaser trailer for In My Own Voice.
The film tour will kick off in Seattle on May 11 before snaking its way across the U.S., Vancouver and Toronto before concluding in Boston.
