GRANTHAM, Pa. (March 6, 2008) – The husband-and-wife duo Over the Rhine bring their “evocative, earthy songwriting and impassioned delivery” to Messiah College in a dynamic concert performance on March 28 at 8 pm. Their most recent album, “The Trumpet Child,” collaborates with Nashville producer Brad Jones to deliver, in strings, woodwinds and horns, “a juicy, informally epic pop album unlike any other you’re likely to hear this year.” They will perform in Brubaker Auditorium, located in the Eisenhower Campus Center on the college’s Grantham campus. Tickets cost $15 and may be purchased by calling the Messiah College ticket office at (717) 691-6036.
About Over the Rhine
As artists who have been making music for more than 15 years, Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist still approach their work with the integrity and passion their tightly-knit fan base has come to love. “Believe me, we don’t want to waste anybody’s time,” says Detweiler. “When we stop believing we’re doing our best work, we’re done. Every song has to be good… every concert has to have some spiritual significance—something that we can’t quantify, something bigger than all of us.”
Over the Rhine began as a modest rock group in 1990, slowly becoming recognized for their talent. Originally hailing from Ohio, the group’s fame has taken them all across the U.S. and abroad, and the artists recently made “Paste” magazine’s “100 Best Living Songwriters.” Their music has won them a loyal pool of fans, who have followed their stylistic journey from more basic rock music to a charming amalgamation encompassing jazz and country as well.
