The Head and the Heart

The Head and the Heart have confirmed a May 9 release date for their sixth studio album, Aperture, which also marks their debut for Verve Forecast.  New single “After the Setting Sun” is out today and can be streamed here. The new track follows the release of their own record setting #1 AAA single “Arrow” and a new, separate version of the track featuring Mt. Joy that supports victims of the recent LA fires. Aperture brings the band back to a DIY approach as it’s the first record self-produced by the band since their self-titled debut album in 2011.

The band has also announced the “Aperture” tour kicking off on May 31 in Detroit. The tour includes stops at Central Park Summerstage in New York City, the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA, and more. The tour will include stops at Summerfest and Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival this summer. Every ticket sold will add +$1 to donate to the band’s Rivers and Roads Foundation. The foundation, started by The Head and The Heart, raises money for local Seattle-based music programs and initiatives with an emphasis on equitable access to music education, and mental health resources and support for musicians.

Tickets for the Vina Robles Amphitheatre show are available via Ticketmaster, Friday March 7, at 10AM.
