The Hero and The Villain will be performing a selection of new and old originals as well as some classic cover favorites at Obbink Distilling on Friday, June 12th, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.
2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for The Hero and The Villain. We’ll be spending the month of March fully immersed in the studio, recording our next full-length album: an ambitious, collaborative project slated for release in late spring / early summer. This new record builds on our commitment to honest storytelling and meaningful art, while pushing our sound, themes, and creative partnerships further than ever before.
In tandem with the recording process, we’re intentionally handpicking artists to collaborate on individual tracks, inviting new voices and perspectives into the music. These collaborations will extend beyond the album itself, culminating in a live performance art exhibit designed to launch the record and showcase the musicians and visual artists involved. This immersive release event will blend music, visual art, and shared space, bringing the album’s themes to life in a way that goes far beyond a traditional show.
As the album takes shape, we’re also ramping up live performances throughout the year to support the release, with many more shows being added to the calendar. Expect the Performances section of the site to grow steadily as we bring this new era of The Hero and The Villain on the road. New merchandise designs are also in the works, created in collaboration with artists connected to the project, and additional musical partnerships with local artists are already on the horizon.
In short: new music, deeper collaboration, more shows, and a lot of momentum. We can’t wait to share what’s coming next. Stay tuned, 2026 is just getting started!
The Hero and The Villain strongly believes in the power of community, collaboration, and creativity. Our mission extends beyond music itself—we strive to use our platform to inspire hope, spread love, and drive meaningful change.
Every performance by The Hero and The Villain is more than just a show; it is an opportunity to make a difference. We are committed to integrating a charitable component into every event, ensuring that by supporting our music, you are also contributing to impactful organizations that create positive change at the local, national, and global levels.
Currently, The Hero and The Villain is proud to partner with the PUT THE NAIL IN IT foundation in the fight to end domestic violence. To support this vital cause, we are donating 100% of all proceeds from album sales, merchandise sales, and collected donations at our performances directly to the foundation.
By joining us on this journey, you are not only experiencing music—you are becoming part of a movement dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of those in need.
