The Oh Hellos: NPR Music Holiday Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Bob Boilen | December, 19 2016 - It seemed only fitting for us to have a nine-piece, family-centered band come back to the Tiny Desk to help us celebrate the holidays in 2016. Maggie and Tyler Heath head up The Oh Hellos vocally, but this band - which played a non-holiday show at the desk just a year ago - feels very much like an extended family, in terms of both camaraderie and harmonies.
It helps that The Oh Hellos' members are steeped in the holidays: They're currently on their Christmas Extravaganza Tour, as they play songs from their 2013 holiday collection The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album. It exudes spiritual fervor while also finding joy in the Heath family tradition of handbells and group singing of "Jingle Bells" - which yours truly attempted to ring and sing during this set. At a later point, when this Texas nonet let the high holiday fiddling kick in, fake snow and real joy filled the NPR offices with catchy Christmas cheer. Happiest of holidays from the Tiny Desk team.
The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album is available now:

Around 13:02 the accordion player gets the, "woo!" perfectly, is very happy about it, and the banjo player looks over nodding like "nice". It's great. Love this band.

Hahaha its the little moments like this that make the world all the more better. The little things. Thanks Accordion and Banjo players:)
I am not remotely Christian, but it honestly doesnt matter with The Oh Hellos. They sing with such fervor and passion, that I can't help but feel their joy. It's so infectious and so beautiful. It makes my heart ache in the most joyous way possible.

Maggie and Tyler are definitely believers! Their music is deeply intwined with their faith! While the band isn’t a “Christian” band in the same sense that we all think of Christian music I think it is a beautiful use of their gifts that glorifies God just as much if not more than a “Christian” band

@@1Music1makes1me1happy1 Yes they are. Their recent EPs are literally them talking about their faith and how it relates to their belliefs, current events, and other christians. They are professing christians and have stated so numerous times.
the way she look at her brother and never look the other way is sooo beautiful, like "you're the only thing that matter because your my family" aww

I freaking love The Oh Hellos what a cool intro with Deck the Halls over the "In Memoriam" instrumental...so creative!! *heart*

I legitimately thought that was where they were going with that! Lol
The background tune of their version of "Deck the Halls" sounds like "In Memoriam" from "Through the Deep Dark Valley." That's so cool!
the drummer and i are mutuals on tik tok, and after our brief conversations i can firmly say that he is one of the most down to earth musicians I've met. all of them seem so kind and wonderful, and i am SO looking forward to the borders opening again so i can see them in concert.

I honestly think "Every Bell On Earth Will Ring" might be my favorite Christmas song.
Love how the guitarist is struggling to keep it together when the star falls at 13:30
I love how they just keep repeating "repeat the aounding joy." They're such amazing musicians. Merry Christmas, all, or happy whatever-time-of-the-year-you're-watching-this
Listening to this in June because I love The Oh Hellos more than cultural norms

I make it a point to try and watch all of Tiny Desk, I just get addicted to some of the artists videos and watch them 10 or more times. Firstly, I'm not a huge Christmas fan and secondly, it's mid May and 87° out right now. All that to say I love the Oh Hellos and I'm gonna watch/listen to this a couple more times.
Some have made more money and gotten more famous than these guys, but when it comes to making music, I don't think anyone's had more fun than this band, this day. Great stuff. Sincere thanks, Oh Hellos.
Here for my yearly viewing of The Oh Hellos Christmas concert!!!
