Loud & Proud RecordsRoadcase Royale, Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson‘s new band with former Prince backing singer Liv Warfield, will release its debut album, First Things First, on September 22.

As previously reported, Roadcase Royale also includes two other Heart alums — keyboardist Chris Joyner and drummer Ben Smith — as well as guitarist Ryan Waters, a one-time Prince protegee.

“Roadcase Royale is a band I’ve always wanted to be in,” says Wilson. “We all write and create songs as a unit. It’s an inspired democracy. Liv and Ryan both bring a whole new level of magic to our new sound.”

Nancy adds, “I’m amazed after devoting my life to rock music how it now feels so brand new. That’s why our first album is called First Things First.”

You can check out official videos for two songs from the forthcoming album, “Get Loud” and “Not Giving Up,” on Roadcase Royale’s official YouTube channel.
