![]() ![]() I know that Ann’s going to be really dedicated to her Ann Wilson of Heart thing. Nancy Wilson: You know, right now, for the rest of this year, I know that I’m going to be really dedicated to Roadcase Royale. Does this mark the end of Heart, or just a temporary change of musical direction? Mark Dean: Both yourself and Ann are going out now with different solo tours, and your own solo projects. It kind of represents the two camps, the blends, the two camps like we are doing now. Prince’s New Power Generation, which were Liv and Ryan hail from, that’s kind of the “Royale” of it. Because “Roadcase” kind of represents the touring rock band. What do we name our band? You know? Then, about two months later, after a million other ideas that we didn’t all agree upon, the closest thing we got to was Roadcase Royale. It was still really good, so we were like, okay, we better make this a real thing, we better make it real. Then, when me and Liv Warfield, and her guitar player, Ryan and my three guys from Heart started getting together we just kind of put a toe in the water, like, “well, okay, let’s maybe just get together for fun and see what happens, and try some songs out, and see what we feel like together, what we sound like together.” After the very first day of hanging out, and playing music, we were like, “oh, my God, we should do this with each other, we’ve got this wonderful, you know, we’re already speaking the same musical language,” and everybody was getting along really great, just like, whoa, this feels too good to be true, so we said let’s try to do it some more, so we did it some more. Which legally, I had to get it cleared, because titles are actually pretty tough to clear to get companies started. Nancy Wilson: I had already acquired a new production company called Roadcase Production. Mark Dean: First, how did Roadcase Royale get their name? You gave me a guitar pick, which I still have. Thank you for the rose, I appreciate that. Mark Dean: I’m sure that probably happens to you all the time. I gave you a rose when you played in Dublin on the Jupiter’s Darling Tour. We have actually met before, but I’m sure you don’t remember. People walking by were enjoying the music too.Mark Dean: I’m good. CD – “F antastic show last night!!
