Carrie Newcomer

Over the Rhine

Over the Rhine is an American, Ohio-based folk music band, the core of which is the husband-and-wife team of pianist/ guitarist/ bassist Linford Detweiler and vocalist/guitarist Karin Berquist. Through the years, they have toured the world and recorded in many band variations. They have shared the stage with Bob Dylan, John Prine, Adrian Belew, Squeeze, Ani DiFranco, My Morning Jacket, Hem, and toured as “adjunct” members of Cowboy Junkies.
