By the Book: Karin Bergquist
The best in their field talk about the books the have influenced their careers.
As the unmistakable voice and co-founding member of the band known as Over the Rhine, Karin Bergquist has been wholly devoted to her critically-acclaimed creative endeavor since it’s inception in 1989. Ms. Bergquist and her husband/partner Linford Detweiler have perpetuated Over the Rhine’s career with an impressive catalog of songs that celebrate American music in richly imaginative ways. The duo was recently included in PASTE Magazine’s list of 100 Best Living Songwriters, a humbling and generous accolade that Ms. Bergquist is determined to live up to.
Over the Rhine has released eighteen recordings in it’s nearly 20 year history, repeatedly toured the U.S. and Europe and enjoyed success in markets as far away as New Zealand, where its 2005 release, Drunkard’s Prayer, reached the top ten.
In an industry with an uncertain future, Karin and her partner Linford Detweiler decided recently to forego offers from already established record labels and instead started their own imprint, GSD – Great Speckled Dog Records. Their instincts have paid off as their business experienced a 60% growth in 2007 alone with the release of their latest project, The Trumpet Child. Over the Rhine’s following continues to grow around the world.
Both Karin and Linford count among their inspirations fiction writers, essayists and poets, so it follows that Karin Bergquist would be included in this year’s By the Book series.
When they are not touring, Karin and Linford reside east of Cincinnati on their small farm with their beloved Great Dane (Elroy) and Weimaraner (Shakey Jake).
