Head East 50th Anniversary T-shirts
Do you remember the first time that you heard Head East? Many fans have vivid memories of first hearing the band on the radio or live at a show. Or playing that Head East LP, 8-track, or cassette for the first time. The front design of a new Head East 50th Anniversary T-shirt is based on this concept.
The design pays tribute to Head East's debut album Flat As A Pancake. The front of the shirt shows the album cued up on a turntable with the tag line, I remember the first time…, paying homage to the opening line from Jefftown Creek written by founding member and original drummer Steve Huston. The design on the back of the shirt has an updated version of the clock with Head East milestones and the heading 2019, 50 years and still rocking!
A second 50th Anniversary T-shirt is available in both a short and long sleeve women's garment and has the words 50th Head East in gold Rhinestuds in tribute to Head East's Golden Anniversary. Both of the new shirt designs will be available for purchase at live shows on our 50th Anniversary Tour this year.
