The Head and the Heart Are Bringing Their Debut Album Back to Life This Spring
Fifteen years ago, The Head and the Heart self-released a folk-pop record out of Seattle that would go on to earn RIAA Platinum certification and introduce a generation of listeners to songs they'd be listening to for the rest of their lives. This May, the band is marking that anniversary the right way, by playing the whole thing front to back.
The 15 Year Anniversary Tour kicks off May 1 in Nashville, Indiana and makes its way through a run of intimate theater dates before closing out May 14 at Boch Center in Boston. The entire run features openers The Brudi Brothers, and the format leans deliberately into the scale of it: small rooms, a complete album, no filler.
For anyone who's grown up with The Head and the Heart, the setlist aims to read like a greatest hits package hidden inside a debut: "Down in the Valley," "Rivers and Roads," "Lost in My Mind". They’re songs that have soundtracked road trips, breakups, and late nights for over a decade. Playing them in sequence, in full, should be a unique occasion and a rare kind of live experience.
The band has been on a significant run lately. Their 2025 album Aperture, the first self-produced record since that 2011 debut, generated the #1 AAA single "Arrow" and landed them on the Brandi Carlile arena tour this winter. The anniversary run offers a counterpoint to all of that momentum. It’s a chance to slow down and honor where it started.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now. This is a small room for a band that's played Coachella and Madison Square Garden. It won't stay available for long.
