Oh Pep!

Oh Pep! are an Australian band formed in Melbourne, Australia by Olivia Hally (vocals, guitar) and Pepita Emmerichs (violin, mandolin). Their debut album, Stadium Cake, was released on 24 June 2016.

Emmerichs characterised her band’s musical style as “folk/pop/country with bluegrass instrumentation”. She has cited among the band’s influences Paul Kelly, Ryan Adams, Gillian Welch, Andrew Bird, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Glen Hansard, Elbow, Bright Eyes and Arcade Fire. Christine Campbell of Lip Magazine called their music “an original mix of different kinds of folk, pop, indie and more.” NPR Music’s Bob Boilen, after seeing Oh Pep! perform at the 2015 CMJ Music Marathon, praised their songs as “charming … with lyrical and structural twists and turns.”
