Heart's Ann Wilson has confirmed a new string of solo tour dates.

The dates will mark Ann's first ever solo tour run and she will be backed by her newly minted band which is dubbed the Ann Wilson Thing.

She broke news of the tour via her official website.

"This 'passion project' will give Ann an opportunity to sing songs different from Heart, in intimate venues where she can be 'up close and personal' to the audience," reads the announcement.

"Ann has selected songs she loves from artists and writers she admires, and will bring them to life with her powerful voice and soulful interpretations. The music will run the gamut from blues and soul to rock of course!!"

The website says there are seven total dates on the tour but thus far only two have been confirmed.

Those two dates will both occur at Ram's Head Live in Annapolis, Maryland on October 9 and 10.
