Over The Rhine Live – April 28, 2009

April 28, 2009 9:43 am by: Jay Trachtenberg

Cincinnati, Ohio’s Over the Rhine, led by the songwriting skills and comparable vocals of Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler, have built up a loyal following since forming nearly two decades ago. Although their sound is difficult to pin-down, self-dubbed descriptions like “folk-tinged-art-pop” and “pseudo-alternative” begin to scratch the surface. Literary influences like Dylan Thomas and T.S. Eliot seem more apparent than any musical comparison on their latest, lush recording The Trumpet Child. Listen to Over the Rhine live on Music with Jay Trachtenberg!
