I’ve been a big fan of The Head and the Heart since seeing them open for The Decemberists back in 2011. Since then I’ve seen them play at a couple of music festivals but never saw them as a full headliner until a week ago. And to make it even better I had second row seats in the pit!

PHOX

PHOX opened the show with their eclectic folk/indie mix. Though the one thing I remember most was lead singer Monica Martin drinking what appeared to be whiskey out of a plastic water bottle. It must do wonders for her voice as she sounded wonderful.

My seats were too close to get a full band picture with all members of The Head and the Heart in it. But I guess that’s a good problem to have.

The band is very active on Twitter and was taking requests leading up to the show. I was happy to get my request in and hear one of my favorite vocal melodies of their’s in “Honey Come Home.”

With two albums out they definitely have enough material for their own headlining shows and I’m glad to see it happening. Their biggest hit is still their first single, “Lost in My Mind,” but they have had additional success with “Down in the Valley,” “Shake,” and most recently “Another Story.”

They do not have any tour dates currently posted, but hopefully we will see some more soon! I can’t wait to see this band again.
