2026 Christmas Tour Thoughts: One December, not long after Over the Rhine began recording and touring, we were invited to perform some seasonal songs on a public radio station. We worked up a few carols and traditional tunes. It actually felt really good and conjured up an unusual mix of feelings from childhood: innocence, loss, wonder, joy, sadness. I think we were surprised. On our 2026 tour, we will be leaning into some harmonies and making an intimate but hopefully holy ruckus. It won’t be all Christmas music: we’ll certainly mix in tunes from many of our records along the way. But hopefully it’s still true: hopefully, you haven’t heard anything quite like it.
