For Immediate Release
HEART COMPLETES THE 2010 NEBRASKA STATE FAIR ENTERTAINMENT SERIES
 

As they head back on the road with their Red Velvet Car, the sisters Wilson of Heart are excited.  Their excitement will undoubtedly be shared as Heart brings their ever popular and high energy show to the Nebraska State Fair completing the 2010 Entertainment Series. Heart will take the stage on Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 8:00 p.m., at the Heartland Events Center.  Tickets will be $15 plus gate admission and standard Ticketmaster fees.  Tickets will go on sale Monday, July 26 at 8:00 a.m. and will be available at the Heartland Events Center Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations as well as Ticketmaster.com

 

Red Velvet Car ©\©\ the most personal and powerful work yet from Ann and Nancy Wilson ©\©\ takes generations of Heart fans on what truly feels like the musical ride of a lifetime. Powerfully produced by Ben Mink ©\©\ who previously worked with Ann Wilson on her acclaimed 2007 solo album Hope & Glory ¨C Red Velvet Car is a thoroughly electrifying song cycle of largely acoustic©\based sound and a stunning album with a true and renewed sense of purpose. 

 

As Ann Wilson put it, ¡°Here we are at this point in the band¡¯s history and just like with any lifespan, the longer you love, the longer things look in back of you ©\©\ and shorter in front of you too. That sense of perspective means that you¡¯re much less likely to want to waste any time at all. So there¡¯s an even greater sense of mortality, of the stakes involved here and an even stronger desire to make every moment on the album matter.¡±

 

The result on Red Velvet Car is an album of breathtaking intimacy and honesty.  Heart will be performing some of the new songs from Red Velvet Car, along with an entire set of hits and fan favorites when they rock the fair on August 29.  Come along for the ride!

The 2010 State Fair Entertainment Series in the Heartland Event Center is presented by the Nebraska Lottery and co-sponsored by Bristol Windows and U.S. Cellular.

It¡¯s a Grand Affair! The 141st edition of the Nebraska State Fair opens Friday, August 27 and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 6, 2010 at Fonner Park in Grand Island, NE. For more information on the Nebraska State Fair, visit www.statefair.org.
