Joe Henry & Over The Rhine

Cincinnati duo Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist, better known as Over the Rhine, have been making gorgeous records for two decades that sound like "they sprung from another time" (Los Angeles Times). Singer-songwriter Joe Henry spent the same decades writing and performing songs that seem "to inhabit an older music that never actually existed or one that keeps being forgotten and relearned over and over" (Slant Magazine). They first came together when Henry produced Over the Rhine's acclaimed 2011 album The Long Surrender.Now they reunite for an only-at-Duke Performances special event: in front of a live audience at Hayti Heritage Center, Henry and Over the Rhine will perform and record an album of new songs they wrote together. A cadre of crackerjack sidemen will fill out the band, taking advantage of the flawless acoustics of this former church.
