Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler’s rural Clinton County music and arts festival kicks off tonight (May 24) with a VIP-only concert by their longtime Cincinnati-spawned band Over the Rhine.

We recently spoke with the singing/songwriting couple about their 30-year musical and romantic relationship and their new album, as well as this weekend’s festival.
