Over the Rhine with speacial guest
Julia Easterlin
Tickets: $25 Reserved, $15 General Admission
At the core of Over the Rhine is husband-and-wife duo Karin Bergquist (vocals/guitar) and Linford Detweiler (bass/piano/guitar). The band takes its name from the downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, neighborhood where it formed in 1989. They've described their music as "post-nuclear, pseudo-alternative, folk-tinged art-pop." They have been compared to 10,000 Maniacs, the Innocence Mission, U2, and Shawn Colvin, but the band's personality seems to owe more to their literary influences (which include Dylan Thomas, C. S. Lewis, and T. S. Eliot).

The concert's opening act will be singer/songwriter Julia Easterlin, a jazz vocalist who studied at Berklee College of Music and now attends Guilford, who credits her start from Yoko Ono. She has recorded two albums, "Calling Out," a compilation of original songs and "Why Can't You Behave," a jazz CD with pianist, Yuma Sung.
