Guitarist-vocalist Maceo Haymes and keyboardist-vocalist Nick Hennessey have carved out a great niche in the local music scene as the cofounders of soul combo the O’My’s. The group’s pliable sound has been a hit with the hip-hop scene, and they’ve recorded with Ab-Soul, Chance the Rapper, and GLC—the latter two appeared on the band’s 2012 album, Chicago Style. Haymes and Hennessey have brought other musicians into the O’My’s over the years, but for much of the band’s short history they’ve remained the principal players. Their dynamic as ringleaders changed in the spring.

The O’My’s celebrate the release of Keeping the Faith at Metro on Friday, February 13. The Lowdown Brass Band, A Billion Young, and Highness open.
