It takes a lot of stamina, power, and control to sing those songs for up to 2 hours. The music is challenging and vocally like a master vocal class. It was the love of and connection to their music really. Ann and Nancy Wilson were a big inspiration and reason why I started singing professionally. Moved and inspired by their music ever since I heard the album Dream Boat Annie. I thought…you know…I would LOVE to do a tribute to Heart and I know exactly who would be the perfect “Nancy”….Susan Salmon! Wow! I can’t believe it has been THAT long! I have always been and still am a BIG Heart fan. I believe we started talking about it after I saw Heart perform at the Susquehanna Center in Camden NJ with Journey and Cheap Trick. I started talking to our original bass player Chris Hall and Jeff Gordon (former KIO drummer) who I have known since my teenage years and Susan Salmon (KIO guitarist) that I knew from Archbishop Ryan High School believe it or not about forming this band at the end of 2008. KIO: We were out performing during the Summer of 2009. TCS: So how long has Kick It Out A Tribute To Heart been playing together and how did you get started?
