Old Crow Medicine Show combines traditional country, old-time string music, bluegrass, and folk, resonating with a broad audience and earning industry recognition. After being discovered busking in Boone, North Carolina by bluegrass legend Doc Watson in 2000, Old Crow Medicine Show, a group formed in 1998, quickly moved to Nashville in October 2000, a pivotal moment in their career. Embraced and mentored by Marty Stuart, they soon made their Grand Ole Opry debut in January 2001 at the Ryman Auditorium, earning a rare standing ovation. Their influential song ‘Wagon Wheel,’ co-written by Ketch Secor and Bob Dylan, achieved platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America in April 2013 and has since been covered by numerous artists, including Darius Rucker, solidifying its status as a modern American classic.
Their momentum continued with the release of ‘Paint This Town’ in 2022, further showcasing their signature blend of traditional country, old-time string music, bluegrass, and folk. Most recently, Old Crow Medicine Show celebrated 25 years as a group with the release of their album ‘Jubilee’ in 2023. This milestone album went on to receive a Grammy Award nomination for Best Folk Album, underscoring their continued relevance and artistic impact within the folk and Americana landscape. The band maintains a robust touring schedule, consistently bringing their distinctive sound and high-energy performances to sold-out venues and major festivals, cementing their legacy as a cornerstone of American roots music.
