They eventually found themselves in Boone, North Carolina where they caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy. He invited the band to play at his festival, MerleFest, helping to launch their career. Shortly thereafter the band was hired to entertain crowds between shows at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN.
It's been over twenty years since these humble beginnings. The band has gone on to receive the honor of being inducted as members of the Grand Ole Opry, and have won two Grammy Awards: "Best Folk Album" for Remedy (2014) and "Best Long Form Music Video" for Big Easy Express (2013). Additionally, their classic single, "Wagon Wheel", received the RIAA's Double-Platinum certification in 2019 for selling over 2,000,000 copies while the band’s debut album O.C.M.S. has been certified Gold (500,000 copies).

They've toured with artists such as Willie Nelson & Family, Brandi Carlile, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, John Prine, The Avett Brothers and others. The band also took part in the historic Railroad Revival Tour, traveling from California to New Orleans on a vintage train, which was captured in the Emmet Malloy directed Grammy award-winning documentary, Big Easy Express.
Old Crow Medicine Show now has six studio albums to their name, three of which were released by Nettwerk Records - O.C.M.S. (2004) and Big Iron World (2006) produced by David Rawlings, and Tennessee Pusher (2008) produced by Don Was. Following that, ATO Records released the Ted Hutt produced, Carry Me Back (2012), on which the band continued to craft classic American roots music and Remedy (2014), also produced by Ted Hutt.
Old Crow Medicine Show was signed to Columbia in 2017 and immediately delivered a full-length tribute to Boy Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde, entitled 50 Years Of Blonde On Blonde (2017). During the same year, Nettwerk also released a Best Of Old Crow Medicine Show compilation. A year later, the band released the Dave Cobb produced Volunteer (2018) via Columbia. The band’s latest release Live At The Ryman (2019) was released on October 4th on Columbia Records via The Orchard.
Old Crow Medicine Show is always a great time. They always play at great venues and put on a brilliant show that never disappoints. I have seen them as a headliner and as part of a set in a music festival. They have a great following of fans and the show is always tons of fun. They make great music, all the artists are talented and play all types of music with great original songs and classic covers like "Wagon Wheel." If you're looking to have a great time and dance to great uplifting music this is your show. They have been perfecting their stage show for years and are masters and a staple in the bluegrass rockabilly scene. They play a beautiful blend of different music styles and the show is complete experience from the lot to the crown and the stage. It is a fantastic experience and a band I would see at every oppertunity. Look for them in a line up at a music festival and I guarantee it will be a great weekend. Dress light and wear your dancing shoes, get down and have fun. It is impossible to leave an Old Crow Medicine Show in a bad mood, they will lift you up and the beautiful energy of the music and the fans will keep you flying through your week.
