The Head and the Heart ~ 10/9/2014 ~ Soul Kitchen ~ Mobile, AL
Review and Photos by Clayton Roberts
The Head and the Heart rolled into town on October 9, 2014 to a full and excited crowd at the Soul Kitchen Music Hall in downtown Mobile, AL. The band consists of Charity Rose Thielen on violin, Jonathan Russell and Josiah Johnson on guitars, Kenny Hensley on piano, Chris Zasche on bass, and Tyler Williams on drums to complete this indie folk band from Seattle, Washington. They have an extensive fall tour with stops in towns all over the nation and a stop at Austin City Music Festival, so catch them in a town near you.
The evening started out to a very enthusiastic crowd as they opened with “Cats and Dogs” then “Coeur d’alene” off their self-titled album. Next would be a taste off the latest album Let’s Be Still with a great version of “Homecoming Heroes”. The night would continue on and the crowd grew louder and louder as the more familiar tunes were played to the fans’ pure enjoyment. “Lost in My Mind” was met with crowd participation and the band ate it up.
The set list (seen in the picture) was truly accommodating to the atmosphere of the room and we wish The Head and the Heart a quick return to the port city. We want to thank Steve Hall Productions, WZEW 92.1, and the Soul Kitchen for presenting such a fantastic evening of music!
