From otrannounce at overtherhine.com Wed Jun 5 13:12:13 2013 From: otrannounce at overtherhine.com (Announcement list for the band Over The Rhine) Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 13:12:13 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [OTR Announce] Over the Rhine -- June 2013 Update: Meet Me At The Edge Of The World Message-ID: Dear extended musical family, It?s a gorgeous spring day here on the farm, warm and sunnybut with a cool breeze. A song sparrow has been stealing the show all morningnext to the back porch, its liquid whistle rippling the air. Minnie Pearlpicked up a baby starling and carried it around for awhile, but she used hersoft mouth and set it down when Karin asked her to. I took it over to the maplegrove, and it happily flew away, its young life still in tact, its dark eyesglittering. (I?m not sure that it knew until that moment that it could fly.) I?m now sitting in our little writing shack. Karin and I hadalways dreamed of having a writing shack, a simple room inspired by the likesof Dylan Thomas etc. We were able to put the finishing touches on the old springhousejust before our farm concerts, and we now have this simple room with a view.We?ve been living here on Nowhere Farm for eight plus years, and it took everybit of that to restore this old shed little by little. The folks who attendedour farm concerts (from near and far) christened it for us by signing ourguestbook. If I have a memoir in me, it will be written in this room.If I don?t, I will find out I don?t in this room. And maybe I?ll get that firstbook of poems together as well. If all the new songs leave room? The first ever Nowhere Farm gatherings were lovely. We putup a big top tent, and strung some lights along the paths, and Greerhand-painted signs on cedar shakes to keep everyone pointed in the rightdirection. Chuck from La Terza served world-class cappuccinos. We grilled somegourmet hot dogs for a late night snack, and the cookie carry-in was out of thepark. It was very moving to offer the songs to those with ears to hear on thevery soil they grew out of. At the very least, we will probably try to makethis an annual event, and who knows, maybe the next time we can do a ?barnraising? with an Amish crew? Take another step toward having a permanentvenue/structure out here. Thanks for the inspiration. The new double album that many of you helped us make hasbeen mastered, and we are now in the manufacturing/set up phase, which takesawhile. Meet Me At The Edge Of The World. The official release date is September 3, 2013. Those thatpitch in to help us record (catch and release) receive the music early. Can?t wait for you to hear. It feels very much like thestart of a new chapter. Stay tuned at overtherhine.com? We didn?t have much time to bask in the afterglow, becauselast wknd we flew to Colorado for three concerts. An amazing trip that began inOuray, and ended in Boulder via Denver? Thank you to all who found us ? itreally was stunningly beautiful to make the drive from Durango to Ouray, andthen drive up to Denver. We?ve made some good friends in the shadows of thosemountains. You all have a beautiful state. We hope to come back soon. It?s been a busy spring, and the weather was a little chillyfor awhile, so we are finally going to plant our vegetable garden this evening.Should grow like gangbusters now that the ground has warmed up. We have a number of shows throughout the summer where wewill be previewing songs from the new record as well as the tried and true. Andwe are happy to announce that on the first official leg of the Meet Me At TheEdge Of The World Tour, (September) we will be joined by kindred spirits ? avery inspiring duo to be sure, Kenneth and Joey, aka The Milk Carton Kids.Looking forward to the communion.
