See The Head And The Heart live in concert at State Theatre New Jersey! The acclaimed Seattle band's hit songs include "Rivers and Roads," "Virginia," "Honeybee," "Lost in My My Mind," and "Down in the Valley." Opening the show is Tennessee band, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors.

In 2022, band released their fifth studio album, Every Shade of Blue, headlined sold-out shows all over North America, and performed multiple times on national television, everywhere from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to performing at the championship banner drop for The Seattle Sounders.

Every Shade of Blue was produced by Grammy Award-winning songwriter, producer, and engineer Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Pink, The Shins, Tegan and Sara) except for album tracks “Shadows,” “Don’t Show Your Weakness,” and “Love We Make” which were produced by Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Wet), and “Paradigm,” produced by John Hill and Sammy Witte (Florence + The Machine, Portugal The Man, Cage The Elephant), and mastered by Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at The Lodge, NY.

Initially self-released in 2011, The Head And The Heart’s self-titled breakout debut produced instant classics including “Rivers and Roads,” “Down in the Valley,” and “Lost in My Mind” (#1 at AAA), and is now certified Gold. 2013’s Let’s Be Still and 2016’s Signs of Light settled into the top 10 of The Billboard 200 album chart, with Signs of Light securing the #1 position on Rock Album Charts, scoring the band’s first #1 at Alternative radio with “All We Ever Knew” and also holding the #1 spot at AAA for nine straight weeks. The band’s fourth full-length album, Living Mirage, was released to critical praise in 2019. “Missed Connection” reached the #1 position on the Alternative Chart as well as the Mediabase and BDS alternative charts, after having already achieved #1 on the AAA chart. The album’s breakout track, “Honeybee,” became a fan favorite with 153M+ total global streams and 1M+ global weekly streams.
