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.

When he moved to Chicago in the late 90's, Jeff was still playing original music until he joined a friend's cover band. From there, he spent several years with the bands Reckless and April's Reign. 

When asked about influences, Jeff always mentions his roots in classical music. He was also inspired by seeing the great classical guitarist Andres Segovia shortly before his death.
