Over the Rhine: Anyone familiar with this Ohio band?

[Heidi]

I accidentally stumbled across this two-person band a couple of days ago and am in love, somehow.

1. a co-worker introduced me to them in 2000

Great stuff, yes. I love "Everyman's Daughter".

[Heidi]

12. Hi, ulysses (and Chris)!

I just love when I find stuff that's been out there for a long while but new to me. Mornin', sunshine(s)! :hug:

[ulysses]

16. I do too.

Intelligent people doing creative things, quietly - you have to love it.

Mr. Man is starting to take after his mother's night-owl habits, so while I was on my way to work at 6:45 this morning when you wrote, the two of them were sawing logs. He was a little illish yesterday, so at least he has an excuse. :hug:

2. Thank you, my dear Heidi...

I had not heard this band before...

What haunting music! I love this sort of ballad, and these just spoke to me...

:hug:

13. Karin Bergquist's voice is just gorgeous, isn't it?

:hi:

[Jo March]

3. They are awesome. I've seen them in concert twice.

I love that band. All of their stuff is great.

"My Love is a Fever" is most excellent as is "All I Need Is Everything."

[Heidi]

14. Hi, Jo! My current favorite is "When I Go."

Mornin'! :hi:

4. Ohio is for Lovers

15. I've heard that about Virginia, too.

5. My bf turned me on to this band years ago.

They sound a lot like Innocence Mission.

6. I knew them way, way back in the day

They started off as a quasi-christian band, then moved in to more secular stuff later on. The band is named after one of the oldest neighborhoods in Cincinnati; I had friends of friends in the SW Ohio music scene that knew them, and they were all pretty nice people..

7. How's Hoserstan?

I've gone native and embraced the 2 constants in canadian life that's NOT hockey; Curling and Tim Hortons!:D

[sasquatch]

9. OMG, is that like Canadian bowling or something

[enigmatic]

10. Culturally, pretty much

Curling Clubs are the old-school bowling palaces of The Rust Belt, and the Curling Lounge is just as packed as the Bowling ones, too. And I get to wear these awesome threads:

11. Their version of Ruby Tuesday

is the best I've heard

[gmoney]

17. Yep! I've seen them play a couple times...

They sort of got overshadowed by Cowboy Junkies and Mazzy Star back in the day, but I believe they're still active. You should come over for a show sometime!

Somewhere are photos I took at a concert... I think I was shooting FILM at the time even!
