REVIEW BY:
Over the Rhine was the reason that I came to the festival and they delivered.
During the past year, Over the Rhine has toured with Kim Taylor and she
joined the band on guitar and background vocals. Karin Bergquist and Linford
Detweiler have also been touring with Devon Ashley on the drums and Rick
Plant on the electric guitar and bass guitar.
Set List:
Hometown Boy
Born (/w Kim Taylor)

Latter Days
Linford played bass on "Lookin' Forward", "Firefly" and "Show Me." Rick Plant played electric on all those songs and also on "Born" Plant also played an acoustic bass on "Drunkard's Prayer"
The band came out dressed warmly. Karin wondered if this really was Atlanta, given how chilly it was. Humorously, the house PA played a mix of music between the performances on the stage, including the song "Born" only moments before Over the Rhine took the stage. Someone requested "Etcetera Whatever" and Karin commented that people there that weren't familar with their body of work must think that someone was bored with their music. Karin also commented that apparently "I Want You To Be My Love" is becoming a popular song for weddings and they are becoming competition for "The Wedding Song." They don't currently play at weddings.
Bill brought some beautiful flowers and they were on the front of the
stage. No mention of Willow all night, but then again most of the crowd
barely knew who Over the Rhine was, much less that they owned dogs.
