Claude says:The Head and the Heart started as an indie folk band in Seattle in 2009, meeting through open mic nights at a Ballard pub — Josiah Johnson and Jonathan Russell as the core, then piano, violin, bass, and drums. Their sixth album came out in 2025. You had a couple of stray plays in 2022 and 2023, then forgot about it for two years before it finally clicked in the summer of 2025 — "Virginia (Wind In The Night)" and the title track became the ones you leaned on.
