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, Jalopy) 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.  After a some gigs and an album (Dirt & Water), we welcomed Ben Margolis (sax – The Peoples Donut), Alex Blinn (Drums), Rob Gilmore (Bass) and JohnMcgregor (Guitar).
We completed our second album (Peripheral People) with the help and collaboration of Alex Blinn (Drums), Rob Gilmore (Bass), Mark Podgurski (Drums), Helen Aki (Guitar, Backing Vocals), HeartSleeve veterans Wayne Flower (Bass) and Joshua Lee Loomis (Guitar) and Honorary Sleever For Life, HeartSleeves engineer Douglas Batchelder (Guitar, Wurlitzer Piano, Hammond organ) who also recorded, mixed and co-produced the album.
After over 4 years as the musical director and co-leader of The HeartSleeves, during which he was a crucial and essential part of keeping the band alive and co-creating and co-producing the album Peripheral People Ben Margolis stepped down as the band's musical director and sax player. The HeartSleeves owe Ben more than we can ever repay him. He will always be a HeartSleeve and he will always be family. Current members include Jared (Vocals), Heather McCormack (Backing Vocals), Brandon Bergman (Drums), Mark Yanowitz (Bass), David Lewis (Guitar), Jim DiNardo (Percussions), Joshua Troderman (Keys).
If Thomas Hart Benton and Lenny Bruce had a band with Percy Sledge and Orson Welles…… We would open for them… no cost               (Ben, Wayne, Joel, Rob, Josh, REL, John, Gary & Brenda, Helen, Mark, Connor, Alan, Liza, Christina)
