[DID NOT ATTEND: October 15, 2025] The Oh Hellos / Rabbitology
Back in 2016, I was introduced to The Oh Hellos through a Tiny Desk concert. And I put them on my bands to see list.
The Oh Hellos are technically a duo of Tyler and Maggie Heath. But live (and here) they play chamber pop with nine members in the band. They have an accordion, a violin, a banjo, guitars and great harmonies.
But in the last nine years I hadn’t heard anything about them and more or less forgot about them–they have been putting out albums, but I never heard about them. When this show was announced I was kind of surprised that it was at Union Transfer, as I didn’t know if they even had a following. I guess they do.
I was vaguely interested but not enough to get tickets. Plus I had a ticket to see Margaret Glaspy that night, so Margaret won.
Rabbitology is the world created by the odd-running mind of Michigan-based alternative-folk singer/songwriter Nat Timmerman. She sings a very earthy, somewhat unsettling style of music. It reminds me a bit of Paris Paloma–but with a different vocal style. I really like the songs I’ve heard. I’ll bet she’s a really compelling live performer. Maybe she’ll come back around.
