Oh Hellos serenade enthusiastic Majestic crowd
By Robbie Heimbruch | Oct. 27, 2015The dark stage entrance is something that many bands do. But when The Oh Hellos emerged on stage Saturday, they took this old trick to a new level. The nine-piece outfit took their places, picked up their instruments, and began to play. Quietly at first, with just the soft strumming of a guitar and gentle plucking of a banjo. Vocalist Maggie Heath began softly singing the words to “Like The Dawn,” and then, as her brother Tyler joined in, the music slowly began to swell. The drums picked up, the melody took form, and the other members of the band added their own voices to the mix. The climax of the song emerged, and suddenly the memory of a once-quiet stage became distant, replaced instead with a thunderous and captivating opening song.
