Cincinnati's eclectic Over the Rhine have maintained an acclaimed music career for more than two decades, anchored by the melancholy songwriting of lyricists Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist. The band's recordings have resisted pigeonholing by touching on elements of Americana, roots, and indie rock; the approach has allowed Detweiler and Bergquist exceptional latitude to explore a diverse array of topics and tones within their own spare, intimate aesthetic. The band's lineup has undergone numerous changes, but their partnership remains rock solid.
