Barb Bogosh-Battaglia as "Nancy Wilson", Guitar, Vocals

Barb started playing guitar at 9 years old. With 7 older siblings who all played instruments, there was always someone playing and plenty of guitars around the house.  She started playing at church, and was fortunate to take lessons from a jazz teacher who also taught Terry Kath from the band Chicago. Jazz and classical guitar became the foundation of her playing style.   

Heart and the guitar playing of Nancy Wilson have always been a huge inspiration for Barb. As a teen, she accidentally met Ann and Nancy Wilson, which had a big impact on her and on her music. Artists like Jimmy Page, Gary Richrath from REO, and Chuck Berry inspired her to pick up the electric guitar.  Her versatility as a player lead her to play in jazz and rock bands throughout the years.   

Barb’s aggressive playing style and lyrical vocals make her an audience favorite and a great addition to the Heartless lineup.

Chris Dikszas, Guitar, Vocals
 Chris is a native Chicagoan and grew up on the far south side. For his 9th birthday, his mom & dad bought him a very inexpensive guitar; lessons and training soon followed. By the time he was 17, he was playing most of the local clubs. For the past 29 years, he has performed live all over Chicago and theTri-State area at venues like Navy Pier, Arlington Park Race Track, and the Chicago Marathon. 

“The music that inspired me the most was everything on the radio from the 60’s and 70’s. Some of my earliest memories were hearing these strange, but magical sounds coming from this small plastic box.” Some of that magic was from The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. 

By emulating the many guitar players and styles from the past 3 decades, Chris has acquired a wide range of skill, diverse abilities, and valuable experience in live performing and recording.
