The Head And The Heart’s Kenny Hensley Injured Both Shoulders and That’s Where the Trouble Started

Aperture is the sixth studio album by the indie-folk band The
Head And The Heart and it’s kind of a return to the more
grounded, collaborative sound of their earliest work. It’s less
polished, less highly produced, not as poppy. That’s not an
accident. The band has been putting in the work to be more of a
cohesive unit by sharing songwriting and singing duties, going to
therapy together, and trying to closely protect the health of
both the individual members and the group itself. Kenny Hensley
joins us to talk about the shoulder injuries he incurred, a
dangerous xanax habit that followed, some unpleasant incidents
that resulted from that, his suspension from The Head And The
Heart, and his return to good health and a productive role.
