The Head and the Heart Play UPMC Events Center; Cappys Has Global Mondays (Mon., 10/14/19)

1) Seattle folk-rock group The Head and the Heart sold CD copies of its self-titled debut in hand-sewn denim sleeves. Sub Pop, a record label which has signed bands such as Nirvana and the Postal Service, released the album in 2011. Let’s Be Still followed in 2013. The sextet took a break in 2014. In the interim, violinist/vocalist Charity Rose Thielen wrote songs for other performers, including Mavis Staples. The band soon regrouped to record new music. The members also reworked a leftover from the Let’s Be Still sessions, “All We Ever Knew.” The revised version was on 2016’s Signs of Light, and the song hit number one on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Songs chart. Singer Josiah Johnson entered recovery before the tour for the album. He’s better now but is pursuing a solo career. Matt Gervais, who is married to Thielen, now is the band’s singer. The Head and the Heart released Living Mirage this year and will perform at the UPMC Events Center. Illiterate Light opens. 8 p.m. 6001 University Blvd., Moon Township. (CM)
