Over the Rhine Barn Loft Concert:
GOOD DOG BAD DOG The Home Recordings
Saturday, May 31st, 2025
Karin and Linford will perform the songs from the beloved album, GOOD DOG BAD DOG, in sequence, from start to finish in the Barn Loft at Nowhere Else, located at 190 Townsend Road, Martinsville, Ohio 45146.
What a beautiful piece of heartache, this has all turned out to be…
I’ll just ride on the backs of the angels tonight…
Feel the slip and the grip of grace again…
We’re curious to see how these songs unfurl and resonate in the present moment. Feels like maybe we need to hear them.
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.
The Barn At Nowhere Else:
PATTY GRIFFIN

On Saturday, June 28, we are hosting a very special concert with Patty Griffin, one of the truly noteworthy and inspiring songwriters of our generation.
It’s a mad mission
Under difficult conditions…
But I got the ambition…

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…”
