Tipps and Obermiller

It took over thirty-five years for Hilary Tipps and Steve Obermiller to find each other. But in no time at all, these Fort Worth, Texas songwriters fell in love and started their lives together. Yet it was another decade of trying to create life, deal with death and build careers in teaching and nursing before they wrote their first songs together.
Now fully invested in their passion for songwriting and performing, “Love (and other mysteries)” is a debut album that bursts open a dream deferred.
It is a collection of songs with equal parts contemplation, wisdom and simple fun.
Though you might call them Folk or Americana, Tipps and Obermiller are not genre-specific songwriters. Just as they write about every aspect of life and living, they use every style of music to suit the song at hand. In doing so, they have created an album that takes the listener on a joyous ride: never predictable and worthy of playlist after playlist.
Americana Highways states, "Together they captivate the way Delaney & Bonnie once dignified music. An excellent duet with wonderful lyrical ornamentation scattered throughout their repertoire.”
Kelly Kieke, owner of The Tattler in Quitman, Texas says, “Every time Hilary and Steve walk up our 100 year old stairs they end up filling the space with an energy that you can’t ignore. Such amazing songwriters bringing their love for life and music to the stage for all of us to share. Such a blessing to us all.”
Whether performing in intimate listening rooms or on festival stages, they bring a connection of energy and charm unique to a couple dedicated to each other, their music and their audience.
