This past Sunday, April 2, I had the immense privilege of seeing the Ann Wilson of Heart concert at the brand new Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, NH. Only one word can describe my night, and that word is incredible. As my mother and I are walking into the venue, I noticed that Ann’s bass player, Andy Stoller, was walking towards us. As I walked in the door, he followed right behind. As I looked at him, he said “Are you Trevor?” I couldn’t believe it, a member of the band recognized ME. We are friends on Facebook and we have chatted a few times, so I guess that’s how he recognized me. After chatting with Andy for a moment, I got my ticket and went over to the merchandise table, where I recognized the worker. His name was Roger, and I had met him while I was working at a music venue over the summer. He is also the merchandise manager for Rod Stewart! The show started with Ann performing a cover of The Who’s “The Real Me.” She performed a few Heart songs throughout the set, but the rest were covers of songs she loves to play, by artists such as The Who, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, Buffalo Springfield, Jimi Hendrix, and Peter Gabriel. Wilson and her band also played a few new original songs too, which I really loved. The entire night was filled with great music and it created a lot of great memories. The best memory I got was when I went up to the stage at the end of the show and one Ann’s crew members handed me the setlist! How cool! I loved the show so much that I am going to see it again on Friday night in Rhode Island. She keeps releasing new tour dates, and I recommend any lover of good music to go see her show!
