Over the Rhine & The Newbees
April 5 Wilmington, OH ~ The Murphy Theatre | Tickets
April 12 Frankfort, KY ~ Grand Theatre | Tickets
For these special concerts, Over the Rhine will be joined by members of The Newbees, a band described as “modern, vintage rock and roll” for a deep dive into the wild edges of Over the Rhine’s catalog of recordings, including songs from their critically-acclaimed albums Eve, Films For Radio, OHIO and much more.
This six-piece version of Over the Rhine will turn up the volume and bring a smile to anyone who has followed the band for years, and also surprise new listeners with their rock and roll energy, musicianship and great vocal harmonies. Look for a career spanning evening of stories and songs that trace the many years and miles, tears and smiles.
Over the Rhine Barn Loft Concert: Drunkard's Prayer - 20th Anniversary Performance
April 26, 2025
Gates open at 5pm. Music starts at 7:00pm.
Bonfire to follow, weather permitting.
On Saturday, April 26, we are hosting our first barn loft concert of 2025 at Nowhere Else, located at 190 Townsend Road, Martinsville, Ohio 45146.
Pour me a glass of wine, talk deep into the night, who knows what we’ll find…
To commemorate 20 years since its release, Karin and Linford will perform the album Drunkard’s Prayer from start to finish, and then include a handful of new songs and a few additional old faves as well. We’re happy to report our let’s-stay-together record still resonates.
Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or lawn chairs and comfortable walking shoes. We’ll have tables and chairs set up in the barn as well.
Festive beverages will be available on site.
Two new albums! All orders receive instant download access.
Hymn Time In The Land Of Abandon
After three-plus decades of recording as Over the Rhine, Linford and Karin revisit and reimagine a collection of old hymns and gospel songs: “Music that we grew up singing, music as present in our formative years as the air we breathed.”
An early review of an advance copy of Hymn Time, the very first Over the Rhine record made in the barn loft at Nowhere Else, offered this succinct summary:
“Truly lovely—spare, sweet and subtle renderings that transform the familiar into something fresh and new.”
May it be so.
Ten Songs Without Words
Linford Detweiler
Solo Piano
Also among the very first recordings from the barn loft: Linford, alone at a piano, playing Ten Songs Without Words.
“From the very first time I sat down at a piano, I discovered that melodies were available. A river of music was already flowing up above me. When I closed my eyes and pressed a few black and white keys, something beyond words would begin to make itself known. It made it difficult not to believe that music was a miracle of some kind or other.”

Ireland Retreat
We're thrilled to announce that we'll be traveling to Ireland in June to participate in our third storytelling and peace building retreat with our friends, Gareth Higgins & Brian Ammons. Getting to spend this time in Ireland with Gareth and Brian will be a gift to all of us who are able to be present. The retreat will offer ample beauty, laughter, music, a few healing tears and warm hospitality. But perhaps most importantly, we will all receive the gift of new stories to tell, new stories that can change the narrative of a heart. We would love to share with you what we can only describe as the trip of a lifetime.
Places are limited and likely to fill up fast — details here.
“Take a trip through this Ohio duo’s music,
and you’ll want to follow them anywhere…”
