"At the beginning of our journey as a band, a few of us would busk in a stairwell below the main entrance of Pike Place Market because the acoustics were free, our songs were tested via passers by and sometimes we would gather enough gifted cash to share a good meal," the band explains of the meaning behind the performance.
"Ten years later, in August of 2019, we found ourselves performing on top of this same market to tens of thousands of people - strangers, friends, close family and the many who have supported us along the way. Our band has gone through extreme highs and lows, experiences of joy and of loss and we've continued on, reminded that people change, bands change, the story deepens and widens, but a gratitude for the city that raised us up will never falter."
The film chronicles The Head and The Heart's return to their Seattle roots to perform a rooftop concert at the city's infamous Pike Place Market in front of 30,000 hometown fans, two stories above where they originally started busking for tips ten years ago. The high-energy, nine-song concert is interspersed with documentary footage and a series of intimate and revealing interviews with the band, including former and founding member Josiah Johnson, and early supporters and friends such as Sub Pop Records'
Stuart Meyer and CEO Megan Jasper.
The concert includes #1 Alternative singles "
Honeybee" and "Missed Connection" from The Head and The Heart's 2019 album Living Mirage and "Lost In My Mind," the first song they ever wrote in Seattle.
The Head and The
Heart will be celebrating the release with a livestream event on Amazon Music's Twitch channel today at 6pm PST, which will feature a live Q&A with the band as well as an online screening of the film.
Customers can also simply ask, "Alexa play the new album by The Head and The Heart" in the Amazon

Music listeners can access hundreds of Amazon Originals featuring both emerging and established artists across numerous genres, available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music.
