The Head brings 15th Anniversary Tour to The Jefferson Theater on May 12, 2026. The Brudi Brothers opens the night. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. ET.

The Head pulls roughly 3.5M monthly listeners on Spotify.

The act

Formed in 2009, out of Seattle, WA, The Head has been touring behind a strengthening catalog into a live act with national reach.

The Head and the Heart formed in 2009 out of open mic nights at Seattle's Conor Byrne pub in Ballard. The six-piece — Jonathan Russell, Charity Rose Thielen, Chris Zasche, Kenny Hensley, Tyler Williams, and Matt Gervais — built an indie-folk catalog across six studio albums on Sub Pop and Verve. Their sixth album, Aperture, arrived in May 2025.

The venue

The Jefferson Theater sits at 110 East Main Street, a 750-capacity historic 1912 theater operated by Starr Hill Presents under booker Danny Shea.

Jefferson programs eclectically across Americana, indie, country revival, hip-hop, and themed dance nights. The room runs 750 general-admission, with sightlines from front-of-house to the back of the floor.

The night

Doors 7:00 PM. Set 8:00 PM. All ages. Ticket prices are set on the on-sale.

The Brudi Brothers opens at doors with a 30-minute set.

Why now

The Head is currently routing 15th Anniversary Tour, and the Charlottesville stop fills a midweek window between corridor dates.

The Head pulls a measurable 98/100 share of Charlottesville-metro listeners on Spotify, including a non-trivial DC and Richmond overlap that often crosses for shows at this size.
