Lynn was first introduced to the music of Heart in 1976 when "Dreamboat Annie" was released. She and keyboardist/manager Bob Roberts formed Heartless in 2008.  “Wherever we play, we meet people who love Heart,” says Lynn.  “It’s an honor to perform this music.” 

Skilled in various styles, Lynn's first love is rock. In addition to Ann & Nancy Wilson, her influences include Melissa Etheridge, Rod Stewart and Roger Daltry. She brings her passion and love of performance to every show. 

Julie Spadafora as "Nancy Wilson", Guitar, Vocals

Julie’s love for music started at age 9, singing along with music of ABBA.  As a young adult, she picked up the guitar and there’s been no turning back!  She taught herself to play with inspiration from artists like Sheryl Crow and rocker KT Tunstall.

In 2011, she formed a duo, New Day, performing a variety of pop and rock hits.  Unfortunately, her music partner passed away, prompting Julie to take a few years off.  After her short hiatus, she returned with a solo show playing wine bars and pubs in the Western Chicago suburbs and fronting a local cover band. She also started a new duo covering crowd-pleasing hits at public and private venues. Fun fact:  For five years, Julie was a professional Dancer/Cheerleader for the Chicago Bulls!

Julie brings high-energy performance to the stage.  Her dynamic vocals and guitar-playing style make her a great fit for the music of Heart.

John “Ziggy” Ziganto, Guitar

John started guitar lessons after grade school and was teaching in 4-1/2 years. He studied various genres, learned theory from a clarinet player with the Chicago Symphony, and was mentored by Mike Aquino, a session player with Jim Peterik and a personal friend.

His earliest influence was his Dad who played accordion and sang for the family, while his Mom encouraged John to sing. His current influences are some of the great Nashville session players.

John has played some of the great Chicago-area music venues and has performed with members of Styx, Jim Peterik, Jimmy Sohns and several tribute bands. He believes in being well-rounded and playing with fire and passion. Practice hard – play harder!

Outside of music, John has worked for 37 years as a studio mechanic for feature films and TV. He cites his hobbies as cars and spending time with Jasper, his dog and best friend.
