No. 15: The O's -- "You've Got Your Heart"
It was late in 2008 when Taylor Young and John Pedigo, both local local music scene vets with many a successful project already under their combined belt, debuted their country folk duo known as The O's. And though the duo put out a self-titled EP in October of that year, it was in February of 2009 when the band formally released its first long-player, We Are The O's, on local label Idol Records. And that was just the beginning, really, of a whirlwind year for the duo.
