The Head and the Heart for Obama
Yesterday March 21, SubPop darlings, The Head and the Heart played a short set at Obama campaign headquarters downtown. The group donated their time before a show at The National to support a candidate they truly believe in. Local band Black Girls opened for the group at The National and The Head and the Heart continued their tour today with a stop in Savannah. I sat down with the band for a short interview and recorded their set. I was also lucky to speak with one of the staffers, committed to reaching out to youth.
An edited podcast of the live performance with pieces of the interview is available here.
