Olivia Hally and Pepita Emmerichs go by the name of Oh Pep!
What a talented young pair.
From Melbourne Australia, Oh Pep! has already released two EPs, won awards (National Folk Festival and Music Victoria) and embarked on a five-month music trek in the U.S., Canada and Europe, which included the Americana Music Festival in Nashville in September 2015.
The second EP Living (through Star House Collective) was produced by Shane Nicholson and contains four fascinating and diverse tracks – foot stomping, toe tapping, original and thought provoking. Most important of all, is the refreshingly new sound, contemporary folk pop which is defiantly different.
Living Track List
- The Race
- Rest Assured
- War Song
- Tea, Milk & Honey
Here is a live version of “Tea, Milk & Honey” from Music City Roots, live from The Factory in Franklin Tennessee.
