Heart inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – finally!
Being as I’m a Seattle girl through and through, I absolutely LOVE that it will be Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell to induct Seattle 70s rock band Heart into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
You all know that I’m a huge fan of all Seattle music, and Heart has been a favorite of mine since I would walk and talk. I had the good fortune of meeting Roger Fisher, guitarist and founding member of Heart, a few weeks back during an intimate show at The Hawthorne in Snohomish, Wa (a most excellent place to catch live music). He’s still a local around here.
Excellent dude. It was an honor to see him live and at such a cool venue. Anyhow, I’m getting sidetracked…
The 28th Annual Rock and Rock Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, April 18, 2013.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has announced additional presenters and performers for the 28th Annual Rock and Rock Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Four of this year’s inductees — Heart, Randy Newman, Public Enemy and Rush — are confirmed to perform at the event, which will also honor Albert King and Donna Summer; as well as Lou Adler and Quincy Jones, this year’s recipients of the Ahmet Ertegun Award for Lifetime Achievement.
The star-studded event will feature appearances by Usher, who will perform for Quincy Jones; Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, who will perform with Heart; Spike Lee and Harry Belafonte, who will pay tribute to Public Enemy; Carole King, who will perform for Lou Adler; Chris Cornell, who will induct Heart; comedy legends Cheech & Chong, who will present Adler with his award; and Jackson Browne and John Fogerty, who will perform with Randy Newman. John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. will perform for Albert King, with Mayer giving the induction speech; 1998 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Don Henley will induct Randy Newman; Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson will perform in honor of Donna Summer; and Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters will present Rush.
The induction ceremony will be presented on HBO on Saturday, May 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. More talent will be announced prior to the show.
I love that Heart will be indicted to the Rock and Roll Hall fo Fame as they are VERY deserving. Ann Wilson is one of the most amazing female rock and roll vocalists EVER, if not THE GREATEST. I would love for her and Chris Cornell to perform together. Those two might possibly be my two fave rock and roll voices of all time.
This is one event I would kill for tickets to. I’ll definitely be watching HBO on May 18th. Congrats, Heart, way to represent Sea-Town!
