OVER THE RHINE
Performance Times

Hosting and curating Nowhere Else Festival is undoubtedly one of the highlights of our musical year. It’s almost unbelievable to contemplate all the great music that has happened right here on the farm over the last decade or so, in what is technically referred to as our back yard. But also, we are always amazed and humbled by the incredible team and all the volunteers that coalesce around us and the festival, to help make it all such a warm, open-hearted gathering.
This year we’ll be marking 35 years of making music together as Over the Rhine. Sometimes we’re not sure anymore if we should say the numbers out loud, but the truth is we’ve never been more grateful to have music be an ever-present part of our lives. And we are more convinced than ever: music heals.
Music can still bring all sorts of diverse people together. Songs are safe containers for our shared pain, our shared humanity, and our shared dreams for a better, more loving world.
Someone said we need priests and preachers to remind us that one day we’re going to die. But we need poets, and artists, and musicians to remind us, We’re not dead yet.
It’s true. We’re still here. We’re still alive. And as Karin said in a recent new song, Don’t forget to celebrate.
We truly hope you’ll join us.

We are honored to host grammy-award winning songwriter, John Paul White, at this year’s festival. He’s got a voice that can soar to the northern stars and beyond. It’s obvious he is deep into the lifelong pursuit of a great song. Not to be missed.

The Newbees
Performance Time
Sunday, August 31 @ 1:00 pm
Another unstoppable musical and entrepreneurial couple. And their tag line sums them up perfectly: modern, vintage rock and roll.
At last year’s festival, Jeff and Misty and the band, along with a brass section, blew the roof off the tent with a Beatles Brunch performance that was one of the most joyful noises we’ve ever encountered here on the farm. Seldom have we seen so many people so utterly infused with happiness.
This year, The Newbees will be offering an energetic set of their own music. And they’ll be accompanying Linford and Karin for a deep dive into some of the vintage rock and roll corners of the Over the Rhine catalog. We can’t wait to let it all unfurl in real time.

Joshua Thomas
Performance Time
Saturday, August 30 @ 4:00 pm
“Joshua Thomas is a remarkable singer songwriter, pianist and guitar player, with formidable abilities that feel effortless. He has a well-honed instinct for a great melody and for writing songs that remain true to his unique signal and yet feel timeless. We heard hints of artists such as Rufus Wainwright and Harry Nilsson at times, but mostly heard something that felt deeply original, and which subtly defied comparison. It was an inspiration to be in the room as the songs on The Wings Outside were recorded, and an honor to work with Joshua on his debut full-length album.”
