Tipps and Obermiller
Tipps and Obermiller: Strong. True. Vulnerable.
This dynamic musical duo have captivated audiences around the country with their heartfelt songwriting and emotive performances. Their tight vocal and guitar harmonies, folksy wisdom and unabashed emotional vocabulary combine with craft and charisma to create this unexpectedly magnetic experience.
Their artistic journey has been deeply intertwined with their personal lives; the couple met in 2011 and soon married, navigating the challenges of caring for sick parents, raising teenagers, and pursuing graduate studies and career changes over the next decade. In 2022, they made the decision to fully commit to songwriting and performing. Since releasing their debut album in 2023, Tipps and Obermiller have quickly built a reputation for their engaging performances. The connection to their audience is undeniable as they share their stories and songs like only a bonded couple can. This has quickly taken them from local stages in their hometown of Fort Worth, Texas to becoming touring artists playing listening rooms, house concerts and festivals across the country.
2026’s “Little Kid Heart” marks their third and most polished studio effort. They spent the previous two years writing, workshopping, performing and re-writing dozens of songs to select these ten for this album. When it came time to record, they chose producer Taylor Tatsch (Maren Morris, The Droptines, Rich O’Toole) to take their best songs yet and create an album that evokes the beauty, pain, hope and joy that life brings.
Tipps and Obermiller is rich with virtuosity, validity & is seldom immersed in commerciality.
Hilary’s vocals, while folky, has that suggestive bluesy quality that seeps through. Her voice is pure & comes through honestly with no effects required.

‘Mrs. Montgomery’ feels like it would fit very easily in a 1970s Laurel Canyon folk album. As Obermiller sings, his tone as easy and flowing as the acoustic guitar that accompanies."
