ABOUT

theheartsleeves

Born in the glory and pageant of the noble working cities of Boise, Cleveland, Schenectady, Boston and Syracuse, "The Heartsleeves" is the voice of the no frills sincerity of real world American life.
The HeartSleeves formed in 2007 when Jared Lucas Nathanson (vocals- Grits) and collaborator drinking buddy Wayne "Rhino" Flower (bass - The Halo Benders, Treepeople, Violent Green ) collided at high velocity with Jared's high school chum Joel "JG" Greenlee (sax), Joshua Lee Loomis (vocals, guitar, keys - The Great Buriers) and Ariel "R E L" Rejman (drums - The Great Buriers, Air and Space Museum) down at the Fenway practice space. Country fell into the funk, soul got some pop and jazz on it and the Chocolate got covered in peanut butter.

We are currently working on our second album "Peripheral People" and just releasied three singles from, including our New England sports tribute "Patriot's Day," and the Jewish Rock anthem "The Son of Lenny Bruce."

If Thomas Hart Benton and Lenny Bruce had a band with Percy Sledge and Orson Welles...... We would open for them... no cost
