Seventeen years into their storied career, The Head and the Heart<\/a> are still doing what they do best: bringing generations together with sing-alongs that make a room feel connected.<\/p>\n On May 10, the folksy sextet took over the intimate Brooklyn Paramount<\/a> and revisited their 2011 debut album, \u201cThe Head and the Heart,\u201d which they played in full.<\/p>\n From the first notes of the spine-tingling bop \u201cCats and Dogs,\u201d it was clear this wasn\u2019t going to be a sit-back-and-watch kind of night. Frontman Matt Gervais didn\u2019t stay on stage for long. Just a few notes into the night, he was already in the crowd, emphatically pulling fans into the show.<\/p>\n While the record is unimpeachable, what really stood out during the show wasn\u2019t just the music- it was how much the band let people in. Between songs, they passed the mic and each member shared pieces of the group\u2019s history. They explained how they met, how the band came together, and what those early songs meant at the time. They even opened up about going to therapy together as a band, leaning into the reality that being as close as family comes with both highs and lows.<\/p>\n Some of the evening\u2019s best moments came through those stories. Pianist\/vocalist Kenny Hensley talked about their early days in Seattle, getting lost one night on a long walk home after being out, which ended up inspiring \u201cDown in the Valley.\u201d Then there was drummer Tyler Williams\u2019 tale where he lost his phone his car at a gas station, assuming it was gone for good, until a stranger found it and called the band\u2019s vocalist-violinist Charity Rose Thielen. They arranged to meet right by Sub Pop Records. He handed the guy $20, thought nothing of the exchange\u2026 and six months later, the band was signed there.<\/p>\n Chills.<\/p>\n During the emotional anthem \u201cLost in My Mind,\u201d they brought out openers The Brudi Brothers<\/a> for a loose, full-band jam that felt more like a living room session than a polished set piece. Later, the band took a seat\u2014literally\u2014gathering on a couch on stage for the gorgeous, acoustic \u201cWinter Song.\u201d Stripped back and sitting side by side, it ended up being one of the most intimate moments of the night.<\/p>\n On the way in, fans were handed slips of paper reading \u201cBrooklyn light up,\u201d a cue to hold their phone flashlights up during the melancholy yet uplifting \u201cHeaven Go Easy on Me.\u201d And they did, filling the room with a sea of blue light that felt completely in sync with the magical moment.<\/p>\n That was just the half of it, too.<\/p>\n After a brief intermission, THatH kept the energy going with a standout duet between Matt Gervais and Charity Rose Thielen on the stirring, mysterious \u201cGrace,\u201d an unreleased track from 2011, followed by back-to-back favorites like the thumping crowd-pleaser \u201cHoneybee\u201d and transfixing pop-rock epic \u201cAll We Ever Knew.\u201d By the end of the night, Gervais was back in the crowd again\u2014taking selfies, high-fiving fans, and jumping into the slinky, electro \u201cMissed Connection\u201d with them.<\/p>\n They ended the night with the fist-pumping, feel-good \u201cGlory of Music,\u201d which hit differently this time around. The band even reflected on the tune claiming songs don\u2019t stay fixed, they evolve as you do. What once meant one thing now carries something new, shaped by everything that\u2019s happened in between.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s what the night felt like: not just revisiting where they started, but showing how those songs have grown alongside them\u2014and everyone in the room.<\/p>\n Their live shows really do hit you in the Head and the Heart.<\/p>\n Next up, The Head and the Heart return to the Tri-state for shows at: <\/p>\n East Freehold Showgrounds<\/a> The Head and the Heart tour schedule 2026<\/p>\n A complete North American calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below.<\/p>\n The Head and the Heart tour datesMay 12 at the Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, VA<\/a>May 13 at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA<\/a>May 14 at the Wang Theatre in Boston, MA<\/a>June 19-20 at the Zootown Music Festival in Missoula, MT The Head and the Heart 2026 festival appearances<\/p>\n In addition to the nationwide tour, The head and the Heart are also headlining a trio of festivals.<\/p>\n To make sure you\u2019re in the loop, here\u2019s what you need to know about each of them, including fellow headliners.<\/p>\n The Head and the Heart 2026 festival appearancesZootown Festival The Head and the Heart set list<\/p>\n On May 10, The Head and the Heart played 21 songs at Brooklyn Paramount.
