We’re excited to announce that we will be participating in an early listening event for The Head & The Heart’s new album “Aperture”. Coming out May 9th, 2025.

Stop in on Wednesday, April 30th at 5pm to get a sneak peak at the new tracks, grab some giveaways and enter for a chance to win a signed lithograph from the group!

“Sun was made for coming out, even though the night is long.” Aperture – The Head And The Heart’s sixth album and first since signing to Verve Forecast – is the affirming work of a band finding again its shared footing, reaching unimagined levels of camaraderie and mutual risk as one. With every song fortified by the sense of beginning again, Aperture is The Head And The Heart’s most vital and poignant album. Featuring tracks like the album’s beautifully arcing opener “After the Setting Sun” and the mighty anthem “Arrow,” Aperture is a stunning testament to the collaborative work of a band who decided to let in the light, return to their roots, and forge a new path, together as one.

We are thrilled to host an in-store signing with Jim James, Patrick Hallahan and Tom Blankenship of My Morning Jacket in celebration of the release of their 10th studio album, is, on release day, March 21 at 2pm.

For more than 25 years, My Morning Jacket have achieved an incredibly rare feat in rock & roll, upholding a long-established cultural legacy while sustaining the curiosity and creative hunger of their earliest days. For their 10th studio album the band teamed up with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Brendan O’Brien (Springsteen, Pearl Jam) for what may be their most masterfully realized work yet, once again expanding the limits of their sound while elevating their artistry to unprecedented heights.

PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS BELOW and plan to join us for this very special opportunity.

1) Signing time is very limited and will be available on a first come-first serve basis. We recommend planning to arrive early to secure your spot in line.
