The Head And The Heart
Blue Note Napa Summer Sessions — Napa, CA

Their shows tend to have a genuine communal vibe—people actually sing along and mean it, not as a reflex. The band feeds off that, playing with real attention to dynamics. You'll hear the songs breathe live in ways the recordings sometimes don't allow.

Known for Rivers and Roads, Down in the Valley, Shake, Another Story, Winter Song

The Head and the Heart rolled through Channel 24 in September, pulling a setlist that felt like a greatest-hits mixtape mixed with deeper album cuts. They opened with "Cats and Dogs" and spent two hours moving through their catalog with the kind of ease that comes from playing these songs hundreds of times. "Lost in My Mind" landed somewhere in the middle of the set, that moment where the room gets quiet before everyone sings along. They closed it out with "Rivers and Roads," which felt both inevitable and earned—the kind of closer that lets people leave feeling like they were part of something. Sacramento doesn't get this band every week, so when they showed up, they made it count.

Sacramento's live music scene leans toward the casual and unpretentious. The indie folk thing that The Head and the Heart do—the kind of sincerity and earnestness that could feel saccharine in other hands—fits pretty naturally here. There's an appreciation for bands that don't oversell themselves, that just play the songs and let them do the talking. Channel 24 has become one of the spots where that kind of music still makes sense, where audiences actually listen instead of just wait for the one single they know.

Stay in Midtown Sacramento, where the neighborhood actually feels alive—walk to restaurants, bars, and galleries without planning logistics. Dinner at The Kitchen restaurant offers precise, ingredient-focused cooking that pairs well with the area's wine bar culture. Spend an afternoon at the Crocker Art Museum, one of the country's oldest art institutions, or wander the American River Bike Trail if you need to clear your head before the show. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets and vintage architecture beat anywhere else in town.
