About The Oh Hellos
The Oh Hellos are an indie folk band from San Marcos, Texas, formed around 2011 by siblings Maggie and Tyler Heath. While the core is the two siblings, their recordings and live shows feature a large rotating ensemble of musicians, lending the band its characteristic communal sound. They built their audience independently through online release and touring.
Sound and style
The Oh Hellos play indie folk and folk rock distinguished by lush vocal harmonies, dynamic arrangements that swell from quiet passages to full-ensemble crescendos, and a stomping, anthemic energy. Their work often has a literary and thematic ambition, including concept-driven EPs tied to the seasons.
