Heart's Nancy Wilson will perform in Bethlehem on Sunday, June 18.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Her Heart is still in it.

Legendary guitarist Nancy Wilson will perform at Wind Creek Event Center on Sunday, June 18.

Wilson led the rock group Heart (with her sister, singer Ann Wilson) that brought fans hits such as "Magic Man," "Crazy on You," "Barracuda," and "Straight On."

  • Nancy Wilson of Heart brings her tour to Bethlehem
  • The legendary guitarist performs Sunday, June 18 at Wind Creek Event Center
  • Tickets start at $39

Heart's first Billboard hit, 1986's "These Dreams" showcased Nancy's vocal skills, alongside her versatile song writing skills.

“The Nancy Wilson's Heart performance will have us reminiscing to her hits, and showcasing her iconic guitar skills. Wilson helped carve out a place for women during an era where females in rock ‘n’ roll were scarce," a press release for the tour said.

Making up, moving on

The Wilson sisters, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, are working on new tunes.

After several years of solo projects and an alleged feud (Heart's last album "Beautiful Broken" was released in 2016) Wilson and her older sibling have reunited.

The sisters had a falling out during a 2016 tour after it was revealed that Ann Wilson's husband, Dean Wetter was arrested for allegedly choking Nancy's sons backstage at a Heart concert.

“I’ve got a bunch of new ideas for songs. I’ve also been writing new music with Ann, too, so it’s a real creative time. I think being on [my] tour right now, when I get home, I’m gonna really dig into the other projects, including finishing some new material with Ann," Wilson, 69, said in an interview with Joe Rock of New York’s 102.3 WBAB.

"So, it’s really a good time to be creative. And I’ve got a new studio in my house, so I can’t wait to sort of run tape on stuff.”

Fans can expect to hear some of the group's classic guitar rips.

“[It’s] closer to what you would have heard us originally do in '70s, late ’70s,” Wilson said.“So it’s really fun, it’s just exciting and inspiring.”

She is also releasing a cover album, "Tomboy" featuring songs originally written by her male counterparts and friends in the industry.

Tickets to Wilson's Bethlehem show start at $39.
