Old Crow Medicine Show

Old Crow Medicine Show, the spirited Americana and folk band, formed in 1998 when childhood friends Ketch Secor and Critter Fuqua bonded over traditional folk and bluegrass in New York City. Infusing old-time melodies with high-energy performances, the band quickly distinguished themselves by blending fiddle, banjo, harmonica, and guitar with a modern, raucous spirit that honors Appalachian roots while engaging contemporary audiences. Inspired by icons like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, their breakthrough came with the iconic hit “Wagon Wheel,” co-written by Secor and Dylan, which became a cultural phenomenon and helped solidify the band’s reputation as torchbearers of authentic American roots music. Over the years, Old Crow Medicine Show has released critically acclaimed albums such as O.C.M.S., Big Iron World, and most recently Jubilee (2023), which features collaborations with Willie Watson, Mavis Staples, and Sierra Ferell on the energetic track “Belle Meade Cockfight.” The band’s current touring lineup—Ketch Secor, Morgan Jahnig, Cory Younts, Mike Harris, Mason Via, Dante’ Pope, and PJ George—showcases multi-instrumental mastery, with constant instrument swapping and intricate harmonies that make their live shows an immersive, whirlwind experience. Celebrated for their dedication to storytelling, musicianship, and live performance, Old Crow Medicine Show has become a driving force in the modern folk revival, connecting audiences to the rich heritage of Americana while keeping the music vibrant, fresh, and joyfully alive.
