All the band members Charity Rose Tielen, Chris Zasche, Kenny Hensley, Tyler Wilson, Josiah Johnson and Jonathan Russell met after a series of open mic nights in a pub in Seattle. The band name, as explained by Johnson is based on the concept that “your head is telling you to be stable and find a good job, you know in your heart that this [the band] is what you're supposed to do even if it's crazy.”
The band spent most of their formulative years touring around the Northwest region of the United States, and released their first self-titled album in 2010, and then was re-released when they signed with Sub Pop Records in 2011. Having gained a lot of popularity, the band toured the United States, as well as Europe as the supporting act for various other bands such as Vampire Weekend, Dr. Dog, Iron and Wine and Death Cab For Cutie. They even made their debut television appearance on Conan at the end of 2011.
The band’s music was also featured on various, widely popular television shows. “Rivers and Roads” was used for both Chuck as well as How I Met Your Mother, and “Down In The Valley” was used for the British television show, “Beaver Falls.” Following the success of the first album, they released their sophomore album, “Let’s Be Still” in October 2013, which was entirely produced by all members of the band with the help of Shawn Simmons.
Seeing The Head and the Heart live at New York’s Celebrate Brooklyn! absolutely changed my life.
I must have talked about that show for weeks afterwards, gushing to anyone who would listen, swearing I’d never seen anything like it—and, to this day, I still haven’t. The band is made up of six multi-talented vocalists and instrumentalists, all switching back and forth between roles for each different song. Just as I thought the violinist was just a violinist, she broke out into a roaring, breathtaking vocal solo—and so on and so forth. Though each band member is incredibly talented in their own right, it is the chemistry between the six of them that makes the group unlike any other. In a completely unplanned fit of enthusiasm during their heartbreaking “Rivers and Roads,” all six members went airborne all at once, coming off the ground just slightly, no longer able to contain the power that was driving them to perform. I have never seen anything like it, before or since. Every time The Head and the Heart performs, they make you feel like you are first falling in love, and exactly how they’ve managed to bottle this feeling, I’ll never know. The show wrapped with band member Josiah’s solo acoustic performance of “Honey Come Home,” his gentle, gravelly voice following fans out of the venue long after the performance was through.

Wilderado puts on an awesome show! The whole crowd got into it and was yelling or singing along. They also brought unreleased music for purchase at the merch table, and made an effort to shake hands and meet fans. Not to mention the great music! Would definitely go see them again!
