Over the Rhine came out of Ohio in 1989, a Cincinnati band started by Karin Bergquist, Linford Detweiler, Brian Kelley and Ric Hordinski, and by the time of Patience in 1992 they were making some of the most quietly gorgeous folk-rock around. Bergquist's voice is the star, smoky and aching one minute and gospel-lifted the next, floating over a mix of Americana, country and old-time rock and roll that never raises its voice more than it needs to. "How Does It Feel (To Be On My Mind)" and "Jacksie" both come from that record. Their labels have included I.R.S. and Back Porch.
Over the years the band shrank to its core: Bergquist on vocals, acoustic guitar and piano, and Detweiler on keyboards, bass and vocals, with hired hands filling in on albums and tours. Films for Radio followed in 2001 with "Give Me Strength". They've recorded at least 15 studio albums and shared bills with Bob Dylan, John Prine, Ani DiFranco and Cowboy Junkies, and in 2016 they started hosting the Nowhere Else Festival on their own farm in southwest Ohio.
