BEST HOMECOMING SHOW
The Head and the Heart have come a long way since their first Sasquatch!, as demonstrated by the fact that this year the sextet played to the masses of mildly interested hill-perchers on the Gorge Amphitheatre stage Sunday afternoon. As locals (based in Seattle, a short three hours away), they were welcomed by screams as vocalist/violinist Charity Thielen thanked those “who have been with us from the beginning.

THE HEAD AND THE HEART | LOST IN THE TREES
FREE The Head and The Heart is a band. The six-piece came together in Seattle in the summer of 2009, and the speed with which it went from handing out burned copies of its self released debut in custom denim sleeves to selling out multi-thousand capacity venues across the country is a testament to the connection people find in its music. While everything about The Head and The Heart’s swelling vocal harmonies and driving acoustic stomps seems at the very center of the American roots revival, the orchestral folk of Lost In The Trees represents the far left of the same movement. Both its 2010 debut, Alone in an Empty House, and this year’s A Church That Fits Our Needs have wowed critics and fans alike with their expansive arrangements, taking listeners on sonic journeys that range from the pure melodies of American folk and pop to symphonic sound exploration.
