When The Oh Hellos piled out of a van at NPR, someone remarked that it was like a clown car: Band members just kept coming, including brother and sister Tyler and Maggie Heath and their mom. They were all road-weary, trading sniffles, coughs and more. But the nine-piece group brought anthemic joy to the Tiny Desk in the form of buoyant songs whose underpinnings could still be dark and lonely.
Some of the music here is from The Oh Hellos' recent second album, Dear Wormwood, which was inspired in part by the writings of C.S. Lewis; it's about a protagonist who doubts a relationship before finding the resolve to never look back. Still, for all the deep sentiment, the band brings the same jubilant energy it brought to its performance at the Newport Folk Festival in July - even now that summer fun has given way to winter germs. Fortunately, the only contagion you'll encounter here is joy.
Dear Wormwood is available now.

Kudos to the violinist for keeping up his shave with all this beard pressure going on
There's even frederick nieztche on the bass there
PLEASE-
😂
😹
You made me pay attention to him and then I saw how EXCITED he was during the last song hahaha
A while back I was at a concert in Austin and a really nice guy came up and started a conversation with me. I asked him what he did and he said “I play violin for a band called The Oh Hellos.” Cool to see him looking just as happy here as he was talking with me. Rare to meet such a genuinely nice person.
He seems like such a cool guy lol
Ah very cool!
after 4 years your comment has finally reached 1k likes
That is actually so awesome ! Wish I would meet someone from the oh hellos! And lol sorry I’m a lil late to this comment
when he said traveling quarantine zone, that hit different in 2020..
I was just about to say this 😂
Right? This started auto-playing for me, and I just let it go because, hey, favorite band of all time. I had forgotten about that part, though!
Yo I was just gonna comment the same thing and I thought "This is from 2015, there's no way that has been commented yet" and here you are, coming through. My eyes widened as soon as I heard him say the words.
I was about to comment on that lol! Great minds think alike!
yep
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are:

Joshua Heinlein - Electric Guitar
Austin Norman - Percussion
Drew Griffith - Bass
Reagan Smith - Banjo
Joey Chance - Accordion
ty so much
I absolutely love them!!!
I can totally tell the 2 lead singers are brother and sister because their harmonies are fantastic and they sound amazing together :)
I've been a musician forever and probably the biggest challenges to playing in a band and playing original music is that you always have the issue of egos that can mess everything up. Someone overplays or plays too loud. They want to be in the spotlight. I would guess this issue is what prevents most bands from making it. And the more members you have, the greater the chance of having a problematic ego. But all these band members listed here in the Oh Hellos obviously set their egos aside order to make beautiful music. This tells you so much of what they're probably like as people. You know they're each quality people that you'd want to be around and get to know.
Thanks ✌
I went to college with most of these guys. The accordion player was one of roommates for a year! Great group of musicians and even better people.
Michael Heredia I met Maggie through band at region tryouts (or something similar, it’s been a while) in high school and had a huge crush on her haha. He current banjo player is someone I was friends with from marching band too
Well I am a musician from Rowlett TX and this song is such an important influence on my freshman college years I wish I could personally tell them how at peice this song has made me feel.
what did u study?
can u hook me up with that fiddle player's digitz?
I don't know any of them or any of you but I really like their music and based only on this first experience of them, I suspect all of you that spent any time with them are good people that shared pleasant times.
I emailed Tiny Desk almost a year ago and recommended they invite The Oh Hello's! Never got a response, still taking credit though
You should. Thank you from suggesting them. Bob Boilen is a fraud.
The hero we all needed but didn’t deserve!!!
im sure u weren't the only one
Like how you know that you was the only one or if they they weren't already invited lol
Matt was first I remember!
He says that the performance of Exeunt is more impressive with the full setup, but this version is my favorite. The energy it holds is more raw and personal, and the full group singing "I have set my mind and my will" helps release that energy. It has been building through the song as the reasons to leave have become more and more clear, and with that burst of strength and resolve, the clarity of the final "I am Leaving" is properly driven home
I have nothing but love for this song, and this version is the best I have heard
i bet the oh hellos could do an amazing D&D podcast
YES.
Their music already goes so well with a D&D campaign, just to have in the background
Okay but the violinist looks like he's having the time of his life :D
Saw them once in concert, was directly in front of his area on stage and he was fiddling his heart out and causing bedlam for like 2 hours straight.
The entire band looks like they want to explode with energy but can't haha
@@bruceclounie3716 The violinist is Clark Kent
Deadass, as much as classical stuff can be fun to play and learn, playing music you have a hand in writing and playing music which you can *actually play* is a lot more enjoyable, I'd be raving in his place 😂
He looks like Jeremy Jordan and John Mayer's son if they have one.
It's like an American version of Of Monsters and Men. And it's absolutely fantastic.
Exactly!! I love them both so much snfjfmjdnsmfmf
I'm about to write a same comment
Liked the of Of. Haha
I love OMAM so much
Glad I'm not the only one who thought Of Monsters and Men!
For me, the music by The Oh Hellos is just like a warm hug, a cup of tea on a rainy day, the smell of the rain and the forest, everything healing combined. I alway start to cry when I listen to them but afterwards I just feel like I'm glued back together. It's amazing what music can do to humans, and I'm amazed how much this music in particular does for me.
This was wonderful to watch :)
finally an awesome christian band.
"And the sun, it does not cause us to grow
It is the rain that will strengthen your soul
And it will make you whole"
this comment hits pretty hard, you seem like a wonderful human being. (and don't worry, you aren't the only one who cries because of everything this music makes you feel :') )
Holy cow. This is exactly how I feel listening to them.❤
i've gotta give credits to the sound guy. only a couple mic's and it sounds so good, every single desk concert
There's usually a mic for each ellectric instrument. Its right in front of their monitors, not shown by camera i think. They did a video where they show the mic setup.
Their sound guy is always fantastic!
I wish I enjoyed doing anything as much as that violinist enjoys playing those songs.
Lol yeah man, he's in the zone
I love the dude on the violin going ham
Ham??
@@nicholasrubianes5368 it’s sort of the equivalent of going ‘nuts’ :)
I’m absolutely mesmerised by the violin guy and the guitar guy in the blue shirt just being so into it and freaking shredding it on Exuent
I've been depressed and void of feeling for months, and this music brought warmth to my chest and tears of joy to my eyes. I can't explain why, but I am thankful.
+brady heinsoo their lyrics emulate Christ, that's why I've discovered it so appealing.
its so peaceful. I know why you mean!
Great man! That's awesome!
Good to hear. You comment brought tears to my eyes. I hope you are well.
christiano241525 agreed, that's what it is!
Tyler's voice is like a comforting hug and I'm tearing up. And the gentle melody is telling me not to give up.
honestly same
A Portland coffee shop called, it wants it's staff back
😂
bravo sir XD
I literally just moved to Portland and just started listening to this... I feel so roasted right now
^roasted
ayyyyyy
*its - I concur but I also love them live!
It's like daughter and mumford and sons had an office romance that created this tiny desk concert...
I think they're much better than the former, both lyric- and harmony-wise.
You're my comment of the year
Sure... _minus Daughter_ 🤨
Munford,daugthers and sons
Man during that third song the violinist went bananas
I can't even handle her voice in Like The Dawn
I am able to.
Their harmony, mm
Idk if you mean you don't like it or you love it too much lol. As for me her voice is a little too much in Notos. I think it does well in this song though, although I've gotta say Tyler's voice is incredible and he needs to sing more of the songs
Those tremolos during the vocal interlude at 8:30 almost brought me to tears. I never noticed them until today even though I listen to this concert often.
She’s got it all right there
Wow. That feeling when you think you've run out of stuff to listen to. And then something new sends a shiver down your back...
so true!
i listen to alot of metal and this song i reallly like and it gave me that good feeling
2:05 "Don't you worry because in there you're safe, and it's true you'll never beat but you'll never break"
*Did you know* this was likely inspired by this Lewis quote?
...
"To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
They have an album named Dear Wormwood, which is heavily based on and named after the Screwtape Letters, which is also by Lewis, so it seems quite likely! :D
@@alicehodges483 their first album is also heavily inspired by Lewis, I think Eustace Scrubb is a character in Narnia actually
... Can we just take a moment, and appreciate that guy's mustache?
No
Mihoshika Furude
*_yes_*
It's definitely a beautiful mustache win.
Meddie Frercury
👌🏻
Just goes to show that even though some say it's not cool to have 85 members in your alternative folk band, doesn't mean it doesn't work...
work well.
God damn. Sometimes the edited studio versions of peoples songs can never compare to just playing it LIVE and "Hello My Old Heart" is one of those. This was an amazing experience to listen to.
Great band. They've somehow managed to carve their own sound in the era of Mumford & Suns, Of Monsters of Men, Lumineers, and many other failed to be known indie folk bands. This was a nice, genuine performance
AlexSuperTramp took the words out of my mouth! I love these bands! Great message songs; normal looking people who can just touch my heart with their incredible talent. Today, all other “music” is a waste of my time.
what do you mean by "failed to be known indie bands"
Lol failed to be known. Lumineers is basically mainstream now, and a lot of people know Of Monsters and Men and Mumford & Sons.
I love these guys more than all those other folk bands.
All the bands you mentioned but this one is pretty well known. If I mention any of them to anyone, there's a big chance they know atleast one of them, if not all of them.
Edit: I just realized your comment is 4 years old, but atleast I can proudly say i knew of them all 4 years ago. :) Gotta thank spotify artist/playlist radio for that one actually.
keep coming back to this video when I'm not feeling my best. the songs themselves are fantastic, but the looks on their faces as they perform really drives that feeling of safety and community home. obsessed w these guys
me too :D also i love your @
Oh.....hello
The energy they have you can tell their just a group of friends that love to make music together and it's amazing
The Oh Hellos doing a tiny desk concert is something I didn't realize I needed so much in my life. This is AMAZING
That violin guy has such a beautiful smile. Would love to just sit next to him :)
Matthew Hagerman. You can sit next to him in Austin, Texas.
@@1stGeorgiaGirl Lemme just buy the plane tickets! Oh wait... :D
@@pikolowet > LOL!
This is one of the most soulful Tiny Desk concerts. They are all incredible but this one stands out. Still coming back to it 2 years later. What a performance! Always leave me speechless. I found my favorite band through Tiny Desk.
The violinist hypes me up so freaking hard. Let’s GOOOOO!!! That is how I want to live my life. Everyday. Just spazzing out hardcore to the moments that overload my feelings and senses with too much joy that I burst at the seams into dance and body spasm rages.
Just saw them in concert. I was in the first row right in front of Tyler. Easily one of the best, most intimate and energetic concerts of my life.
Pics or it didn't happen.
How are u gonna send pics on TH-cam
This is the best Tiny Desk I've seen in a while. Their band seems to only consist of people genuinely having a great time!
+Noah Bachstein Most bands invited to Tiny Desk seem to be filled with people genuinely having a great time". Just saying
+Noah Bachstein I've seen these guys live too - they definitely are genuine people, and they are always having a great time! :)
Yes, saw them open for needtobreathe, I've loved these "self-confessing nerds" ever since!
Watch The Milk Carton Kids tiny desk show - you'll like it.
The XX's is better
am I the only one who is heavily appreciating the fact that the time bar is divided by song?
I wish it was like that in every Tiny Desk Concert :)
How they got so into it on Exuent even while sick and probably tired was great to see. I love this band
The Oh Hellos feels like having hot chocolate in winter.
Their music is so peaceful, they're my new favorites. ima give a random shoutout to the drummer way back there cuz the camera guy likes to focus on the violin guy.
Years later and I'm still returning to this video. Just breathtaking, excellent music.
This was a wonderful performance, and they NEED to come on here again!
I know this is years later..but these people..are the type of friends I long to have someday.
Me: has seen this video a thousand times
Me two seconds later: aw shit here we go again
Oh hello Clark Kent on violin
Maggie is precious.
I just found this tiny desk concert yesterday and I’m totally obsessed, just the love that these guys put into it makes my day
I bet you are binge watching now.
I don't think the description for this video is getting enough credit. It's very well-written and articulate!
YES! Thank you for pointing that out!
Don't you just love the descriptions on all of the Tiny Desk videos?
yea i always appreciate the NPR descriptions

The pure euphoria I feel listening to this bands music is unparalleled
The dirt squirrel on the electric guitarist's lip is so mighty fine. Just like this whole performance!
Matt J man I’m glad I scrolled through the comments section and found this gem lmao
she looks at him with so much (sisterly) love i'm :')
I noticed that too. So much love in her eyes.
If you're in a band playing music that you really enjoy, you'll have that look. Doesn't matter who you are looking at.
I wish I had a sister
Reminds me of Sarah and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek for siblings that seem completely in synch with each other
Violin playing his favorite song at the end lol
I want 1/10th of the energy and joy of that Violin player
Matthew Hagerman from Austin, Texas.
Ugh like the dawn just gets me every damn time. And I love it.
Wow! It's amazing how they sound just as good live in this video as they do on the record. I wish more bands these days would share the same passion for variety in instrumentals. The various musicians synchronize so well with one another and the vocals harmonize beautifully! God has blessed you guys (The Oh Hellos) and I praise God for that! It would be really neat to hear some praise songs.
I feel like I am 2% of the views on this video. I can't stop watching it. Such a fantastic performance. They're just genuine people who are extremely talented.
I love that you didn't overestimate in your statement, like saying "I'm pretty sure I'm 99% of the views on this video." I mean let's be real. Good estimation is always appreciated. :)
I agree. Even though 2% is still about 20,000 views. I still appreciate the underestimation of 2% :)
@@JEENYUS123456 I am 0.000041% of the views. BeAT ThaT!
Possibly one of the most under-rated Tiny Desks, right here.
Okay can we talk about the violinist for a second?
'Λια Αργ. You can't tell he's Superman because of the glasses
can we also talk about the singer?
Sure, what would you like to say about the violinist?
Yes, he is so attractive! And funny! I saw these guys at a concert about a month ago and he was THE most enthusiastic guy there. He was really having fun. Dancing, going crazy, he's beautiful. Reallyreally good at what he does hahaha
Hello my Old Heart speaks to my soul. Such power in the harmonies and the lyrics.
the violin guy is totally awesome!
You forgot an h there haha ;)
Violin guy in the last song is having so much fun. I love it!!!
"like a travelling quarantine zone"
me in 2020: _haha_
I would travel across the country to see them perform. I’m obsessed, their music makes me so happy
looks like I just found some new musicians to become obsessed with. this is beautiful!
+Shania G indeedy! hello, Oh Hellos, nice to make your acquaintance!
fuck yes! why am I always so late exploring awesome new music?! gosh I should've found this back in december 2015 ^^
Erik Supertramp you think you're late.. .-. But this band is awesome they sound like of Monsters and Men with a twist. They're so amazing and watching the whole band play and sing and everything just makes you feel so HAPPYYYYYY
Late to the party 😁😅
@@tyrox3274 Better late than never ;)
I feel I like the sound and energy of NPR Tiny Desk more than the actual recordings. I just keep listening mostly to Tiny desk concerts.
That last song should have been about 2 minutes longer. So good.
Thank you NPR for showing me another amazing band !
Falling in love with all of this right now.
Man, that guy can sing. What a pure voice
My heart is so full right now! I saw them live at Wooly's in Iowa. One of the most dynamic performances I've been to! They put passion in every song. None are mediocre. My wife couldn't go because she was sick and she's the one that got me into them. Tyler and Maggie graciously allowed me to record a video of them saying hi to her and saying how bummed they were that she couldn't come. I became husband of the year that night!!! Haha
You ever see someone sing and think "didn't think that's how you'd look at all"
I recently heard this on one of the episodes of New Amsterdam (on Netflix), and had to look them up as I had never heard it. What a pleasure to find them and “see them in concert.”
I've been to their concert and the violinist has his arm around me omgomgomg
nietzsche on the electric guitar!
Jajajajaja tu comentario me hizo el día
+karottenkoenig Or Freddie Mercury?
+Danny Buck dont hear freddy mercury but definitely a radiohead sound.
+Danny Buck dot hear freddy mercury, but definitely hear radiohead. the last song sounds exactly like high and dry
+phil lane *third
Love in her eyes...
I saw these guys in concert in 2016 and it remains one of my favorite evenings ever. The music, the feel of love that radiated from the crowd as we all felt the music in our souls... there's few things that connect people as well as music can
These guys make me calm, happy, and upbeat in my world of too many long days at work, and just life...
i'm in a very tearful mood and watching this whisked me away to a far away wood with pixies and my future cottagecore wife and our pet frogs so I thank you as I'm in tears again he he.
This is why I love NPR. They never let me down.
their number one fan is in a band with them. how nice, good for him :)
Her vocal is so deep n clear n dreamy^^
I did not know Samwell Tarly can Sing!
+Bala Subramanian Lol I came to post this exact thing!
Sarah Smith - The Resemblance though...
+Bala Subramanian Also who knew John Leguizamo played violin??
Funny
+Bala Subramanian RIght! And who knew Mr. Pringles could play guitar?
Oh my gosh, this is just incredible... I can't describe how wonderful this is.
I love his voice, the softness
This is so authentic, it vaguely remembers me iron and wine, of monsters and men, daughter. Great band
This band is literally sick, man!
1:50 I just died with his vocal run. After listening and relistening to this version about 100, I JUST NOTICED THAT NOW and I'm dying. Music is so cool.
I wish this was longer
Can we appreciate the Violin(fiddle) player, so amazing, into everything he does.
I miss this bunch so much, when are they gonna come back😭😭We need a new Tiny Desk of them!!!
I didn't know Clark Kent played the violin! I love this session. Great music!
that warm smile on her face while she sings.... wow
i've come back to listen to this so many times over the years. makes me feel so happy
Their music takes my breath away
Love the sound but the girl's sweater is the most awesome thing ever!
What a crazy ensemble, everyone adds something important and together it's a masterpiece.
Their music is truly something special.
This violinist is the best thing that I've seen today. Everyone should be this happy. ♥
Anyone else get a "the head and the heart" type of vibe from them?
With a dash of Of Monsters and Men
+tmntsuperhiros agreed, his voice is much better though in my opinion anyway
KM North Yeah each band is crazy talented. It's amazing that the Oh Hello's singer has a cold and you could never tell except that he said so.
and maybe a little bit of lumineers and munford and sons
Her voice is soo unique 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕💕
Guy in the blue button down with the guitar:
Remember working with him at the GAP in San Marcos, TX during college.
Asked why he was never there and he mentioned the band being on tour; pretty cool to see them on here!
