Biography

Seattle, Washington, United States (2009 – present)

The Head and the Heart is a folk band which formed in 2009 in Seattle, Washington, United States. The band consists of Josiah Johnson (vocals, guitar), Jonathan Russell (vocals, guitar), Charity Rose Thielen (violin, vocals), Chris Zasche (bass), Kenny Hensley (keyboards) and Tyler Williams (drums).

Composed primarily of transplants to the Seattle area, The Head and the Heart write and play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start, of the ghosts left behind, of moving forward, all brimming with a soulfulness and hope for a better life than the one we’ve all been sold.

Stylistically, think a folksy Beatles or The Avett Brothers with a little extra oomph. Catchy piano melodies stand side by side with a tight trio of harmonies, and solid minimalist drums, groovin’ bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps make the live show inspiring and really goddamn fun.

After the band self-released its eponymous debut album in June 2010, the emblematic Seattle label Sub Pop re-released the album. For the Sub Pop version, the song “Sounds Like Hallelujah” has been re-recorded, live favorite “Rivers and Roads” has been added, and the album has been re-mastered.

    Think I was still a freshman when I was listening to these guys, and in two months I'll be a senior. Saw them for my 17th birthday, and it was the most intimate and great experience! They play a consistent lineup and for a bunch of drunk adults, they put on a good show. Being a sober underage kid, however, I still loved it. They got the whole crowd singing. It was great.

    Most bands don't even have one vocalist as good as the three in this band.

    Saw them at Hardly Strictly and was floored. Please, please, please release a live album. As good as their album is, they are OUTSTANDING live. A massive amount of energy on stage...so much fun. Can't say enough good things about this band.
