In the heart of Porter, Texas, where the San Jacinto River winds its way through the town, Sundance Head's journey began. Born in 1978, he was raised amidst the familiar sights and sounds of the River Club and River Ridge neighborhoods, off the beaten path of Sorters Road. Sundance's childhood was shaped by the rhythm of his father's career, spending many nights at his bar, Roy Head's Branding Iron Saloon, a local landmark that welcomed friends and neighbors. From an early age, Sundance was immersed in the harmonies of music and the warmth of community.
While relishing the laughter and camaraderie of small-town life, Sundance faced his share of challenges. At just nine years old, tragedy struck with the loss of his older brother, Mike, in a car accident. Yet, music became his refuge amidst the grief Sundance faced. He found comfort in the melodies that echoed through the woods and the lyrics that poured from his soul. With each chord strummed and each lyric penned, Sundance found a way to navigate the depths of his emotions, with guidance from his mom, channeling his experiences into melodies. His friend Kevin Walker's home became a sanctuary for creativity. But tragedy struck once again when Kevin passed, leaving Sundance grappling with yet another loss. Memories of childhood friends lost too soon, like Lori Caldwell, and the losses endured from the flood of ‘94 lingered in the air, forever connecting him to the neighborhood.
Through the highs and lows, Sundance found unwavering support in his parents, Roy and Carolyn Head. Their love and encouragement in the darkest times nurtured his musical talent, shaping him into the artist he is today. From early performances at the Nowhere Lounge to the solemn serenity of being baptized at the Victorian Christian Center, Sundance's journey was marked by the enduring presence of family and faith.
Navigating the twists and turns of adulthood, Sundance embraced the responsibilities of parenthood with the same devotion and dedication he learned from his parents. He strives to be the kind of parent his children can admire and respect. You can get a glimpse of that in the song he wrote for his daughter Percy, Baby (My Girl). When he is home, you will catch him cheering on The Eagles watching his son Levi. Embarking on 26 years together, Sundance finds inspiration in his wife Misty, she is the true catalyst of his being. He pours his heart and soul into his music, using each song as a canvas to express his deepest emotions and experiences. With each note breathed, he wears his heart on his sleeve, creating music that speaks to the soul and touching hearts, inspiring listeners to embrace the beauty of life's journey.
As he looks to the future, Sundance is ready to write the next chapter of his story with a renewed passion for music and art. He continues to reinvent himself, each transformation marking a step in his ongoing journey of growth and change. From the depths of grief to the heights of joy, his music reflects his life's memories – raw, honest, and undeniably powerful. Supported by family and friends, Sundance forges his musical legacy. His youngest son Brazos shines brightly, destined to leave his mark on this world by following in his dad’s footsteps.
