Paste-apalooza: Recent performances at the Paste Studios
Today, Matt Morris stopped by the studio at our Paste headquarters here in Decatur, Ga., around 11 a.m., followed an hour later by Joan Osborne (above), who played a powerful rendition of The Grateful Dead's "Brokedown Palace" as well as three of her originals. This feels about par for the course over the past few weeks, as our multi-media producer Kevin Keller has been working like a madman.... read more

Over the Rhine will perform at the opening of Cincinnati’s new National City Pavillion on May 24, christening the park with a special performance of their critically acclaimed double album Ohio.

Found in: Paste VisionOver the Rhine honors Charles Schulz
Anyone can record a holiday-themed song, or even a holiday-themed album. But few bands can claim to have made an intertextual holiday-themed song, unless that text is, well, the Bible. But Ohio-based Over the Rhine is all about new challenges, so on their recent Snow Angels, the band recorded “Goodbye Charles.” The song is a salute to the late Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts, and thus, a staple of the holiday season, thanks to the yearly appearance of A Charlie Brown Christmas. “Goodbye Charles” is inspired by Schroeder’s piano riff in the television special, and the band is kindly sharing... read more

I was standing backstage at a recent festival in The Netherlands when a fellow from the former East Germany approached me with a couple of his Dutch friends. He booked a music festival in Germany and was wondering if my band, Over the Rhine, might be interested in making an appearance in 2008... read more
Found in: Music, FeaturesOver the Rhine was in the studio
Over the Rhine came by the Paste Studios last week and played a few songs from their newest albums - The Trumpet Child and Snow Angels, a Christmas album. Caren posted on the Ctrl-v blog about her obsession with collecting set lists, and I felt that in the spirit of her post and the feature on set lists in the November issue, I’d post the list that Linford and gave us. Make sure you keep checking back, as we’ll be getting the audio and video out to you soon from this performance.... read more

Found in: Music, ReviewsOver the Rhine makes Snow Angels
It’s astounding how few new Christmas songs stick onto the flypaper of traditional holiday music. Every year artists rehash oldies with more sugar than yearly soda reinventions of Cherry Vanilla More Adjectives cola. But Over the Rhine elicits both cheer—“Snowed In With You”—and gloom—“All I Get For Christmas Is Blue”—on the new tradition-straying Snow Angels, slated for October. The bluesy couple puts a new twist on “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” a response to a fan’s photo of their lyrics spray-painted on a Bethlehem wall. Even a Charles Schultz tribute appears. So when your snot freezes, sneak in some Snow... read more

Found in: Music, NewsOver the Rhine to Trumpet New, Pre-Rock Influences
The prolific, Cincinnati-based duo Over the Rhine (see Paste's 100 Best Living Songwriters) plans to self-release its eleventh studio album, The Trumpet Child, on August 21. A four-piece for most of its 16-year career, Over the Rhine is currently driven by the literal marriage of Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist. With The Trumpet Child, the two have said their goal is to take turns “waking the dead in true New Orleans ragtime fashion.” To help achieve this musical voodoo, Detweiler cites "pre-rock" influences such as Cole Porter and Frank Loesser. Despite a tour with Bob Dylan and the existence of... read more
