The Head and The Heart


The Head and The Heart is an indie folk-pop band from Seattle, Washington that was formed in the summer of 2009. The band self-released their debut album The Head and The Heart in June 2009, selling it at concerts, by word of mouth, and through local record stores. In the ensuing months the album sold 10,000 copies. Their music plays heavily on the trio of vocal harmonies, piano and violin melodies, and prominent drums and percussion. The band has toured extensively through 2010 and 2011 in both the United States and Europe, opening for Vampire Weekend, The Walkmen, Dr. Dog, Dave Matthews, The Low Anthem, The Decemberists, Iron & Wine, My Morning Jacket, and Death Cab For Cutie, as well as headlining their own shows. In March 2011, Seattle’s City Arts Magazine named them “Seattle’s Best New Band”, and the band made their network television debut on April 21, 2011 on Conan. (Source: Wiki)

  1. Once again, you’ve shot a music arrow to my heart. I’ve been keeping a “Music I Want” list (delayed gratification, you know), but I need a treat today, and this is it.

  2. Really like this group, David–great find!! I knew as soon as I started reading this list of bands that they’ve opened for that they were going to strike a chord (if you’ll pardon the pun…) 🙂
