Over the Rhine is an
Ohio -based musical band, the core of which is the husband-and-wife team of bassist/pianist/guitaristLinford Detweiler and vocalist/guitaristKarin Bergquist . Originally a quartet with guitaristRic Hordinski and drummer Brian Kelley, Over the Rhine is now solely the duo of Detweiler and Bergquist with "hired guns" on albums and tours. Linford and Karin were not married at the foundation of the band. The band's namesake and place of origin is theCincinnati, Ohio neighborhoodOver-the-Rhine . Karin attended school inBarnesville, Ohio and graduated from Barnesville High School in 1984. She then went to Malone College, located inCanton, Ohio , where she met Linford. They have both toured and recorded in many shapes and forms. Over the years, the band has opened for a number of musicians, includingBob Dylan , and toured as "adjunct" members ofCowboy Junkies .Formed in the spring of 1989, Over the Rhine released independently their first album, "Till We Have Faces," in 1991 (named for the
C. S. Lewis book of the same title). "Paste Magazine" granted one of its first five-star reviews to Over the Rhine's 2003 double album "Ohio", released on Virgin Records' Back Porch Records label.
