LIVE FROM NOWHERE VOLUME 4 - NOW AVAILABLE!
For this latest edition of Live From Nowhere, we tried our best to capture the energy and electricity of Friday night, December 19, 2008, as Karin and Linford and original band members Ric Hordinski and Brian Kelley (and many talented friends) revisited the early recordings which form the first decade of Over the Rhine’s music. Recorded LIVE at The Taft Theatre in Cincinnati, Ohio, in front of 2500 hungry listeners, we think you’ll discover (or remember) why these early songs snagged Over the Rhine invitations to open for Bob Dylan, Adrian Belew and Squeeze, and enabled the band to make their first trips abroad to Europe and the UK. The Limited Edition hard copies of Live From Nowhere Volume Four contain TWO DISCS of music, and a 20-page souvenir booklet packed full of photos and more.
see the new "Desperate For Love" (from "The Trumpet Child") video HERE!

Thanks for the add---used to have lots of friends who lived "Over the Rhine". Especially liked your remarks about "musician heaven"--perfect sound is to achieve Zen!
I have been living in Eastern Europe for some time now but I try to say up on my favorite band. It was very cool to hear Born on an episode of Bones tonight (I know it is probably last season but that how behind we are with TV here). Anyway...I am glad you are getting some well desired exposure.
