The Head and the Heart in Concert
With an infectious style that combines folk, country, pop, and smart songwriting, Seattle, Washington's The Head and The Heart have earned a reputation as a consummate live act, charming concertgoers with their layered arrangements and intricate vocal harmonies. In 2013, the band released their most confident and mature album to date, Let's Be Still, featuring lead single "Shake," an indie folk stomper that perfectly captures the energy of the band's live performances. After meeting at various open mic nights around Seattle, the band officially formed in 2009, touring the Pacific Northwest before releasing their self-titled 2010 debut album. The buzz of that album attracted the interest of several labels, and the band ultimately signed to Sub Pop Records, who re-released The Head and The Heart LP in April 2011 with additional material including "Down In The Valley, "Lost in My Mind," and "Rivers and Roads." The band toured widely throughout 2010 and 2011 as a supporting act for Dave Matthews, Death Cab For Cutie, and The Decemberists, also headlining their own shows before returning to the studio to record their sophomore album. On tour in 2013, the band impressed ticket buyers with their eclectic live concerts, leading audiences through foot-stomping sing-alongs of the indie folk anthems they've become known for.
The Head and the Heart will release their four studio album called Living Mirage on May 17, 2019. They start touring in the summer of 2019 with 39 dates in support of the new album along with the alternative rock band Hippo Campus on select dates.

I am still humming and smiling from this event! the band was CRAZY good, the crowd was awesome and the venue was great. i'd go back a thousand times if i could!
Oustanding show...great venue and the crowd was really into the band!!! If you get a chance to see The Head and the Heart..see them, you will not be disappointed!
They were awesome They were fun and energetic and amazing. We can't wait to get to see them again in concert. It was our first time seeing them and it was really good!
This was undoubtedly the best concert I have ever attended! The Head and the Heart continue to be the best new band to hit the music scene in at least a decade!
Really impressed with the energy and the sound - they sounded incredible live!!
The place was packed, they were awesome, and after the show they came out and mingled with fans. It was so refreshing to hear good music and see a band that is so genuine.
All three bands were great. Lemolo (not listed) was very good and had outstanding vocals, Thao absolutely tore up the guitar and rocked it, and The Head and the Heart have what could be 3 lead singers. Great time ... one of the best shows I've ever been to.
The Head and The Heart have it all! Always a good show! Never disappoints!
We were so looking forward to seeing The Head and The Heart....too bad my wife and I colud only stay for five songs. They were great, as we expected, but their opening acts, obviously Seattle friends, were loud, pitchy-dawg and really awful. A Thursday (work night) concert starting at 9 PM with TWO awful opening acts??? In the interest of saving the parking hassles at this venue, we took the subway. Since it was getting close to midnight we didn't want to miss one of the last two trains to our car. Hey it's cool they are trying to help music buddies and all, but start them a 7 and get the main attaction on by 8 or even 9. We have been to hundreds of concerts and this will go down as one of the worst experiences. Good Luck to the headliner, you guy are amazing, but get a clue about real life.
This was one of, if not the, best start-to-finish concerts I have ever been to. The two opening acts rocked, with enough variety to prevent any chance of repetitiveness yet enough common elements to make a cohesive, engaging show worth arriving early for. And the Head and the Heart are among the greatest bands out there making music today. Both live and on their stunning album. This album might sound like hype, but after catching them everywhere from Bonnaroo to the Music Box, I can say that they deserve every bit of it.
The show was freaking AMAZING! The opening bands were great and the Head and the Heart killed it!!! Can't wait to see them again!
the music box always is a good time, and the head and the heart brought both reflective emotion and rad energy to their set. crowd was great, opening acts were great, and it was Tyler's birthday! Party on!
Stellar bands, fantastic venue.... overall memorable night!
I had such a magical, beautiful night watching these guys play. I love their lyrics and heartfelt joy with which they play their songs, even though I'm sure they've played them for many, many hundreds of audiences. It's rare for me to feel such a deep connection to songs and lyrics of a band -- I'm usually more into individual songwriters. But these guys know what they're singing about and they make you feel on top of the world and ready to fall in love all in one song.
Band was amazing! The venue was perfect. I love small venues where you can enjoy the music and your night.
one of the best live shows ive seen in a while. great energy, great crowd, loved the venue.
Another weekday night in Brooklyn where the bands don’t care that some of us have day jobs and find it difficult to sit through a show that starts at 9:00pm and has two opening acts so that the headliner doesn’t appear until 11:00pm. The saving grace is that this new band only had one album and they don’t have a lot of songs so their set was only an hour long. rtb and I had difficulty figuring out the name of the opening act. I kept hearing Devil Oil but that didn’t seem right. Even when the second act and the headliner mentioned them I could not understand what they were saying. Devil Whale (from Salt Lake City) might want to consider a new name. The guys were dressed like their audience – I know that this isn’t the type of music that calls for sequins and rhinestones but once in a while I like to see performers dressed like performers. Musically the band fit well on a bill with The Head and the Heart – they’re also a little bouncy although no band could be as bouncy as The Head and the Heart. Drummer Cameron Runyan (on half a kit) was fantastic and a real stand-out. In fact, this was a night when all the drummers shone. Bassist Jake Fish was wearing a Michael Nesmith-type knit cap and lead singer/guitarist Brinton Jones was wearing the regular hipster knit cap. Jamie Timm played lead guitar. Wren Kennedy on keyboards was wearing a t-shirt with Andy Warhol’s cover drawing for The Velvet Underground & Nico. I can’t say I want to run out and buy their album but I am going to keep my eye on them. Thao with The Get Down Stay Down are from the south and Thao came out with a flimsy dress and cowboy boots – again not looking much different than a lot of the women in the audience. The sites I can find list old members or just a few members so I can’t list everyone – Lisa Schonberg was on drums and Adam Thompson on bass. There was another guy on percussion, one on horns, and one on electric guitar. Thao Nguyen was on acoustic and electric guitar and lead vocals. There was a woman on keyboards and back-up vocals – on one song she layered her backing vocals and it was really beautiful. It was especially beautiful in contrast to Thao’s vocals, which are quirky – girlish but throaty at the same time. Surprisingly, I recognized the song “Bag of Hammers” because it’s on my iPod (I have no idea where I got it). They opened their set with just drums – Schonberg and the percussionist – and then the other members walked in. All the songs were very beat-a-riffic but also very melodic. The cover Thao chose was Smokey’s “You Really Got a Hold on Me,” which didn’t fit her voice or her style of music. It was a brave and unusual choice and I appreciated the effort and the fact that she went outside of the usual indie choices for a cover. When rtb and I saw The Head and the Heart at their sold-out Mercury Lounge show in May, I wrote that it looked like they were going to be the next big thing. And it has come to pass. This summer they headlined shows and opened for all the biggest indie rock acts and played various festivals. That translated into three sold-out nights in September in NYC for this Seattle folk-pop band. Live “River and Roads” and “Down in the Valley” are still stand-outs (the former was the last song of the set before the encore and the latter was the second and last encore song). “Lost in My Mind” is another stand-out. The audience cheered for violinist/vocalist Charity Rose Thielen when she came out to set-up. Josiah Johnson (vocals, guitar, percussion) and Jonathan Russell (vocals, guitar, percussion) trade off lead vocals except for a few moments when they allow Charity to shine. She also has a quirky voice but she’s better at letting go for the lead and holding back the quirkiness when she’s on backing vocals. Also in the band are Chris Zasche (bass), Kenny Hensley (keyboards), and Tyler Williams (drums). There were more knit caps but at least Charity looked like someone who belonged on a stage and not in the audience. Everyone bounces. It doesn’t matter if they’re sitting or not. And everyone sings whether there is a mic in front of them or not. Everyone in the band looks like they’re having the time of their life and it’s nice to see them enjoying their time.
Love them, but rather see them live at a small venue! Amazing tho!
the band was great, the venue was good- they sounded amazing live. great time.
This show was amazing, I hope they come back around as soon as possible. I really liked the venue. It wasn't jam packed which was nice but unfortunate because it sold out and a few people I know weren't able to get tickets. Overall awesome experience! They brought so much energy to every single song. Great show!!
