Over The Rhine

Over the Rhine, is the Ohio-based, Americana duo of husband-and-wife, Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler. They have released 15 studio albums and toured extensively, opening concerts for Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Cowboy Junkies and others.

Rolling Stone recently described Over the Rhine as a band “with no sign of fatigue, whose moment has finally arrived.” That’s quite a sentiment for a musical couple marking over 30 years of writing, recording and life on the road.

When you listen to Over the Rhine, you quickly fall under the spell of Karin’s timeless voice “which has the power to stop the world in its tracks” (Performing Songwriter). But then the songs start hitting you. Paste Magazine writes, “Over the Rhine creates true confessional masterpieces that know neither border nor boundary” and included Bergquist and Detweiler on their list of 100 Best Living Songwriters.

Over the Rhine eventually traded their namesake Cincinnati neighborhood for a small farm east of the city, and undertook the restoration of an 1870s barn. Linford and Karin now host concerts and workshops in the barn loft, and have founded an annual music and arts festival on their farm called Nowhere Else Festival.

For this concert, look for a career-spanning, extended evening of songs (both brand new, as well as tried and true) and stories that trace the many years and miles, tears and smiles.
