I recently was fortunate enough to attend an Over The Rhine show at Dayton's Canal Street Tavern. Well, at least to see OTR. Canal Street isn't what you would refer to as a "hospitable" venue from a comfort standpoint. I had heard of them several years ago, around the same time Cincinnati had a couple of bands on the national scene, but never really pursued that interest until now. The show was absolutely terrific, and I've not given them nearly the attention they deserve. If you like modern folksy poetic type music (and this description does not do them justice), check them out.
