Public practice sessions in resonant stairwells and open mic nights at Seattle institutions are the foundation of the Seattle folk-pop band The Head and the Heart. Charity Rose Thielen, Seattle native and a member of The Head and the Heart, gave Visit Seattle the story behind the early days of forming a band in Seattle and how their hit song “Rivers and Roads” was born out of it in a new episode of Music Genesis.

The Head and the Heart stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform two songs, “Virginia (Wind in the Night)” and “Hurts (But It Goes Away).” The indie rock group gave both tunes a buoyant, heart-felt performance, appearing in front of moody video backdrops.
“Virginia (Wind in the Night)” and “Hurts (But It Goes Away)” come off the band’s most recent album, Every Shade of Blue, which dropped April 29 via Warner. The former song, produced by Jesse Shatkin, reflects on singer Jonathan Russell’s thoughts about his home state.

The Head and the Heart have released “Virginia (Wind in the Night),” the second track from their upcoming album, Every Shade of Blue, out April 29 via Warner.
”Being from Virginia, for me this song represents a long and winding relationship to place — a place that is grounding,” singer Jonathan Russell said in a statement about the Jesse Shatkin-produced track. “I’m often drawing on my life through symbolism as a way into someone else’s psyche. It’s part of my search for a deeper connection without having to compare our experiences directly.

We're back with another edition of Horror Highlights! Today's installment gives you a tease of The Howling Wind, the official trailer for The Droving, and details on the recent acquisition of Don't Tell a Soul:
The Howling Wind: "During a plagued dust and wind storm, a countryman takes in a weary traveler seeking refuge — but discovers the truth in the circumstances of his arrival."
"The Howling Wind, at its core, depicts how good people can become monsters when their survival is at stake. In the midst of a natural threat outside, the real terror comes from within. Our vision in crafting The Howling Wind was to utilize the classic style and timeless setting of the early 1960s in order to tell a universal story that although shot in early January, presciently reflects present day events."
The film was directed by Lorian Gish and Justin Knoepfel, written by Justin Knoepfel and stars Anthony Arkin,...

Here at Rolling Stone, we regularly have the opportunity to talk with artists, producers, songwriters, and others in the music world about their current projects, goals and inspirations, highs and lows, and sometimes their take on the state of the country and world.
But sometimes we also just have to ask them a nagging question or two, and they’re game.
Such was the case recently with Jackson Browne as we were discussing the making of Let the Rhythm Lead: Haiti Song Summit Vol. 1, his collaboration with Jenny Lewis, Jonathan Wilson,...

Over the decades, Browne has found himself in some unusual situations linked to his music: singing in a jail cell after being arrested while protesting the opening of a nuclear power plant, or recording an album (Running on Empty) on tour buses and in hotel rooms. To that list, Browne can now add witnessing a voodoo ceremony in Haiti.
“People would go into this kind of trance,” the singer-songwriter recalls of one evening in that country, during the making of his latest project. “Then they began to hurl themselves backwards into the crowd,...

The Head and the Heart have built their success the old fashioned way. The Seattle folk-rock band has evolved from a rootsy, homespun sound to a bigger, radio-ready one, earnestly finding their purchase in what’s left of the old old-fashioned pop-rock mainstream while exuding a tastefulness that makes their ambition and ascendance seem pretty unassuming.
The band’s fourth album is their poppiest to date but it still feels organic, rooted in sturdy melodies, earnest sentimentality and the warm vocal chemistry between frontman Jonathan Russell and violist-guitarist Rose Thielen.
