Steve Fossen, Heart Bassist/Cofounder | Heart by Heart | Somar Macek

Steve Fossen, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Bassist and founding member of Heart is still touring and playing all over the country, with his soul mate Somar Macek. Heart by Heart sounds so authentic to the original recordings as they were played in the 70’s, you’ll swear you have travelled in time.
In this overdue podcast, Bob and Spike hang out with Steve and Somar. We dig into what it was like to be a RockStar playing in from of 400,000 fans, the philosophy behind the bands move to Canada, and how the song Magic Man catapulted the band to fame.
Fast forward to modern times. Steve accidentally meets the love of his life, who happens to look and sing remarkably like Ann Wilson. At first he and Somar play Heart songs as a duo, but inevitably they fall in love and get married. (Heart by Heart consists of Fossen, Macek, Heart Hall of Fame drummer Mike Derosier, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Lizzy Daymont, and guitarist Chad Quist).
If you’ve missed the podcasts (thank you to those who reached out to say so), now that I’ve recovered from chemo, we’re back to make some more. I’m very grateful to all of you who listen.

Wow! I never even thought about an age difference. It seemed so real from the beginning and us fans loved watching you two just clicked so well.

Wow Bob this was a great comeback for you! I’d missed your pod casts but didn’t realize you’d been battling again. Wishing you great health and thanks for this fabulous pod cast!

I feel the 80's was very commercial and an amazing time for HEART. However, the 70's was what made HEART what they became.

[@1gypsy731]

I was a hard core fan of YES before I had heard HEART.

As per usual with him, Steve disses on Ann and Nancy regarding their book. Where is Steve's book?

[@margowsky]

Geez, would have been nice if the DJ talked less so Steve could have talked more. 😒
