The band was founded in Seattle in 1974 by sisters Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson as The Army. The Wilson sisters moved to Vancouver, British Columbia the following year, after their manager was drafted into the United States Army, launching their career in Vancouver and working with supporting musicians from Canada. As a result, Heart is considered an important band in both Canadian and American music history.
