The Head and the Heart are an American folk rock band from Seattle .

Band history

In 2009, the two musicians Jonathan Russell and Josiah Johnson met at an open mic event in a Seattle pub where anyone could go on stage and play in front of the guests. They decided to start a band and brought in four more musicians. As The Head and the Heart they toured the Northwest of the USA for six months and recorded an album on their own. Through their appearances they got the attention of record labels and Sub Pop finally signed them in the spring of 2011 and released the debut album, which bears the band name as the title. After a hesitant start, it finally rose to number 109 on the US album charts and came to number one on the Heatseeker charts.

They spent the coming year again touring and working on their second album. Let's Be Still was released at the end of 2013 and went straight to number ten on the official charts. It also came in at number five on the rock and number one on the independent albums.
