The Oh Hellos began in a cluttered bedroom, where siblings Maggie and Tyler Heath (born and raised in southern Texas) recorded their self-titled EP in 2011. In the fall of 2012, the sibling duo released their debut full-length record, "Through the Deep, Dark Valley," which they wrote, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered themselves. Their second full-length album, "Dear Wormwood," is a collection of songs inspired in part by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters and Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind, mythology, folklore, and apocalyptic literature. The album tells the story of a protagonist trapped in an abusive relationship, by way of letters written to the antagonist. The music of the Oh Hellos is at times delicate, intimate, affectionate; and at others soaring and towering and joyfully explosive. Their influences range from Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens to the Middle East and the Muppets as they bend and blend styles and genres into a unique mixture of eclectic folk rock. This band made quite the splash at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival! The seven-piece North Carolina band The Collection opens.
