Over the Rhine will orchestrate the sunset in Seattle on Monday

To celebrate Over the Rhine’s upcoming outdoor concert at Bumbershoot in Seattle (It’s supposed to be an 80-degree day!), I’ve brought back three different conversations I’ve had with Linford Detweiler over the last 11 years.

These interviews have been offline for a couple of years. (For some reason, they disappeared when I moved the blog to a new location.) But here they are, restored. They give you a behind-the-scenes view of Over the Rhine’s journey from Good Dog Bad Dog to Drunkard’s Prayer. Enjoy!
