The Head and The Heart @ Bill Graham Civic Auditorium 7/26/2019

Before releasing their fourth studio album, Living Mirage (via Warner Brothers Music/Reprise Records ) on May 17th, The Head and The Heart released the single, "People Need Melody" that same month. The Seattle based band then kicked off a 38 city tour on June 21st in Buffalo New York, making stops in Austin, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco and more.

The show in San Francisco was at The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on July 26th with Hippo Campus, who joined them on all of their shows in July. The boys from Saint Paul, Minnesota gave an earnest, pop-rock, opening performance in SF as the auditorium filled up that Friday night. 





The headliners came on under twinkling lights that made you feel like you were under a big night sky. The pretty aesthetic went well with their humble approach to their wholesomely warm indie-folk. In his now signature look, Jonathan Russell donned a wide-brim hat as he seamlessly shared vocals violinist Charity Rose Thielen throughout the set. The band's sweet instrumental harmonies graced the large, concrete auditorium making it feel like a cozy nook as they played: intertwining layered sounds and hymns with tender feelings.

They kicked the night off with two new tracks  "Living Mirage" and "Missed Connection". An  acoustic-style rendition of  "Lost in my Mind" was the first throw back track of the night with "Let's Be Still", "Fireflies" and crowd favorite "All We Ever Knew" to follow. 
 The picturesque set was a lovely medley of THATH catalogue.

Russell, Thielen and Gervais gave a goose-bump worthy en-core performance of "Glory of Music" before the rest of the band joined them on stage. They closed out the night with more of a chaotic joyous noise with "Shake" and "Rivers and Roads".  










July 26th was the final show of their Summer dates but after playing Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 1st they'll be back on the road in September. Along with a slew of headlining shows through October, The Head And The Heart will be at Pilgrimage Music Festival in Franklin Tennessee next month.
