Heart's Ann Wilson Can Now Sing `Baby, It's You'

There's a new little bundle of joy at Ann Wilson's secluded Interlaken mansion here. The lead singer of Heart is now the mother of a baby girl, Marie Lamoureaux Wilson, born here Feb. 3. She announced plans to adopt the child through private adoption last year, saying she would be in touch with the natural mother throughout the pregnancy. Wilson will raise the child as a single parent.

``Marie touches emotions in me I didn't know were there - she's a miracle,'' Ann said in a statement released through Heart's public-relations company. ``I'm very, very happy. I have a lot to give my child, and this has the overwhelming support of my family.''

Although she will be devoting much of her time to the baby in coming months, Ann and her sister, Nancy Wilson, will headline the ``Support the Troops Concert for Peace'' at 3 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Paramount Theatre. Also on the bill are Alice in Chains, Jim Page & Zero Tolerance, the Total Experience Gospel Choir, Adefua African Music & Dance Company, Kuli Loach, Tribal Therapy, Yarddogs, and Orville Johnson. Proceeds go to the American Red Cross Gulf Crisis Fund. Tickets, at $17.50, are at Ticketmaster outlets. The event is sponsored by Global Alliance for Peace. Information: 382-1235.

Alice in Chains and Mother Love Bone were the top vote-getters in balloting for the Northwest Area Music Association's fourth annual NAMA Music Awards Show, set for 7 p.m. March 3 at the Moore Theater. The

bands received nine nominations each. Other top nominees include Queensryche, Heart, the Posies, Soundgarden, Mark Lanegan and Sam Weiss. Jazz superstar Kenny G will perform at the awards ceremony, along with Alice in Chains, Bochinche, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Merrilee Rush, Seattle Women in Rhythm & Blues and newcomer Will T. Macy. Emceeing the event are comedian Rod Long and former KIRO-TV weekend anchor Monica Heart. Tickets are $10 at Ticketmaster outlets. The awards show precedes the NAMA Music Business Conference set for April 5-7 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.

Kenny G was one of 100 music, sports, TV and movie stars who gathered last Sunday afternoon at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif., to record ``Voices That Care,'' a song in support of our troops in the Persian Gulf. Kenny played a sax solo on the tune, earning a round of applause from the celebs, which included Kevin Costner, Mike Tyson, Whoopi Goldberg, Clarence Clemons, Sally Field, Michael Bolton, Meryl Streep, Kenny Rogers, Richard Gere, Orel Hershiser, Jani Lane of Warrant, Billy Dee Williams, Debbie Gibson and Luther Vandross. The idea for the ``We Are the World''-type tune came from Canadian producer David Foster, who is based in Vancouver, B.C. He wrote the music, and his fiancee, Linda Thompson Jenner (Bruce Jenner's ex) wrote the words. A single and video will be out later this month. The USO will distribute free cassettes of the song to soldiers in the Gulf. The USO will share profits from the project with the American Red Cross Gulf Crisis Fund.

Rolling Stone's 1990 Music Awards are announced in the current issue, and no Seattle bands made either the readers' or critics' polls. But in a companion feature, in which rock stars pick their favorite records of 1990, Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue - a former Seattleite - named Mother Love Bone's ``Apple'' as one his faves. ``It's tragic,'' he writes, ``that the band won't be around to follow up this great LP.'' MLB disbanded after the drug overdose death of lead singer Andrew Wood.

If you're waiting for the rescheduling of ``Spamfest 91,'' the Rocket and KXRX-FM's annual celebration of Seattle bands - originally set for Dec. 28 at the Moore Theater and postponed because of snowy weather - stop waiting. After trying several times to get the bands and venue together again at a later date, without success, the promoters finally decided to bag it. That's too bad, because the event is not only a strong showcase for up-and-coming groups, it's also one of the few regular charitable events on the local rock calendar. Proceeds were to have gone to Northwest Harvest (including cans of Spam, which were good for admission) and the Chicken Soup Brigade.
