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.
The band's second album "Let's Be Still" was released on October 15, 2013.
The band released their third studio album, "Signs of Light", in September 2016.
The band's fourth album, "Living Mirage", was released in May 2019.
Band member Josiah Johnson released his debut solo album, "Every Feeling On a Loop", in September 2020.

We're not giving to you
Every word that you say rings true
So then I open my lungs
And everything I say is in tune
Then I open my mind
Every little mistake comes through
It's like a living mirage
Everybody's the same out here
And I can open my light and stay
Whatever it takes for you
No secret of ours
And all they say
I can open my mind for you
Every word is true
It's like a living mirage, it's true
The way you open your mind is, too
And then you sang right a melody for you
If I open my mind for you
Everybody's the same out here
So I open my lungs
Breathe the air, and sand, and stars
Waiting here, waiting here, waiting here
Waiting here
Now if you're in a rainstorm, driving on
It's the same out here
But I can open my lungs for you
Sing the words, they all come true
Like it's a living mirage
I can marry the skies and you
Now when you scream out, you can laugh at me
You found that everything's waiting here, waiting here
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Everything's waiting here
You know I'd give it to you, it's true
I'll sing them babies blues
What I've given to you
Every word that you say rings true
What I've given to you
Every word that you say rings true
Is it a living mirage?
Or every little mistake is through
Josh Herbert
