Our new beating heart on stage... Mike Boisclair
Heartless brings a strong beating heart on stage. Please welcome Mike Boisclair!! When searching for a new drummer, the net was cast wide across New England in search for the perfect match. Mike is a beast behind the kit, a human metronome, and is fun to watch with his performance behind the kit. We are excited to bring him on our team and make some rockin’ memories going forward.
Mike Boisclair has been playing drums for about 45 years. He was a veteran of the Boston Music scene in the 80’s and played for a band called the Tears that opened for many National acts. He also played for the Black Sabbath Tribute band “Souls of Sabbath” and original acts “Xception”, “Third Knuckle”, and numerous other bands hailing from the Boston and New Hampshire area. Some of his influences are John Bonham, Jason Bonham, Michael Derosier, Keith Moon, Neil Peart and many others.
Please help us welcome Mike and put your hearts up!

When it comes to female rockers, there are a few artists who are immediately recognized whenever they start to sing. One such is Ann Wilson of the group Heart. Her power, control, and passion are palpable in whatever song she chooses to sing — whether it’s an original song or a cover she makes her own with her distinctive stylings. So, when I heard there was a tribute band called Heartless that was coming to the Somerset Abbey in Madison, I figured it would be worthwhile to chat with the lead singer Jasmine White. I reached White at her home in Vermont on a Tuesday morning and asked: Read more
ANN WILSON OF HEART GIVES BLESSING TO VT TRIBUTE BAND'S NEW 2023 ALLIES TOUR
HEARTLESS- A Tribute to Ann Wilson of Heart brings forward the Allies Tour in 2023 to promote equality and love through the music of Ann Wilson of Heart. Over the next year, we are reaching out to communities all over New England to promote equality, love, and community connection through music.
“We are in historic times with all the struggles we face today. We will make it known with every performance that no matter what your struggles are, we are your Allies, we have your back, and we are all in it together.” states the Lead singer who plays Ann Wilson and Manager, Jasmine White. “Heartless is known for their community connection piece by covering “What about love” but they are taking it a step further this year dedicating the Heart classic song “Allies” for this very purpose.”
“The message is clear, and we are simply a vessel to deliver it.” says Jasmine “Heart’s lyrics speak of justice, love, and connection in the decades of songs they have written. Ann politely and shamelessly makes her statements of connection, love, and letting the music guide you, so we have decided to do the same with the voice and the reach we must remind the community that Love Matters, Love Wins, and We cannot do it unless we do it together. We don’t just cover Ann’s songs. We bring forward her purpose, her passion, and combine her message with ours to make a positive impact, somewhere…anywhere.” While the band is putting final touches on their music selection and staging, they reached out to Ann Wilson's assistant to get Ann's thoughts and provide some words of advice. Ann Wilson's response: "Absolutely, Yes. I love their commitment to truth. It is a beautiful idea and timely! I give it my 100% blessing."
Lyrics written by Heart include:
“Allies with our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds for what we believe is true.
Allies in a world of too much choiceI only need your voice
To tell me you care, I’ll be anywhere for you, Allies”
