Ohmme Kicks off U.S. Tour Tonight at Thalia Hall

Chicago’s Ohmme have recently released their debut album Parts via Joyful Noise Recordings. Multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriters Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart make up the duo, originally forming in the city’s vibrant music scene in 2014. Since then they have recorded and toured with local acts such as Twin Peaks, Tweedy, Whitney, and Chance The Rapper.

“The band started because we knew we could sing well together and we wanted to make some noise with the guitar,” says Cunningham. Stewart adds, “Sima and I are both trained classical pianists and we know many of the sonic spaces keyboards have to offer. Since we were interested in experimenting and creating something different from what we had both done in the past, we chose guitar as our outlet for this band. We wanted to create both new and uncomfortable parameters for ourselves to force us into a different creative space.”

Now the duo will launch their U.S. tour tonight with a hometown record release show at Thalia Hall. Grab your tickets here.
