Old Crow Medicine Show biography

Old Crow Medicine Show started busking on street corners in 1998 New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way with their boundless energy and spirit.

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).

Old Crow Medicine Show has toured the world playing renowned festivals and venues such as: Bonnaroo, Farm Aid, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Cambridge Folk Festival, Coachella, London's Roundhouse, The Ryman Auditorium, The Barclays Center, New Orleans Jazz Fest, The Fox Theater Atlanta, The Kennedy Center Concert Hall, Summerstage in Central Park NYC, Forecastle, the Newport Folk Festival, and several appearances on A Prairie Home Companion. 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.

Live reviews

Old Crow Medicine Show has been one of my favorite bands for a long time now, so I have been looking forward to their show at the world famous Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado since I got tickets through early on-sale in January. And they were everything a Red Rocks show should be!
It rained (poured) during the opening act, the Grammy Award winning Carolina Chocolate Drops, but cleared up just as OCMS came on stage. Great choice for an opening act, too. That Rhiannon Giddens can sing! Love the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and they kept the energy up even in the rain.
Old Crow Medicine Show’s high-energy, boot-stomping bluegrass kept the audience on our feet and rocking out the entire time, and helped us forget, or just not care, that we were soaking wet from head to toe. I would do it again, even in the rain, in a heartbeat. OMCS even surprised the audience by bringing out Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, who picks the banjo. Who knew?!? They closed out the show with their own rendition of John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High”. No surprise there, as it is a pretty common occurrence at Red Rocks, but it is still fun to hear how different bands of different genres interpret the tune.
Bottom line -- two thumbs way, way up for Old Crow Medicine Show and Carolina Chocolate Drops!

I saw North Mississippi Allstars perform at the Independent in San Francisco, California on February 9, 2013. The base on Po Black Maddie was perfect. It was one of the best performances of this song I've heard or seen. The stage was perfect. The colors and the scenes shown on the screen really made the night perfect. The guitarist is especially cute. I love his hair and glasses. He's also got great skill with the guitar and a nice voice to go with it.

Skinny Woman was done well too. It was a nice more mellow follow up to Po Black Maddie and the guitarist got to really show off his skills on that one. Going to one of their shows is a great way to unwind at the end of a hard day. They give a good performance and great music. Good to drink to or dance to if you brought a date. They are also nice guys if you get a chance to talk with them after the show at one of their small laid back gigs or if you get their early to see them set up. I like to try and arrive early while the band is setting up.
