Old Crow Medicine Show

We rarely come across genuine buskers in America - street musicians playing their hearts out in public - let alone tightly-meshed ensembles with keening vocal harmonies, fiddles and banjos. But Old Crow Medicine Show (O.C.M.S.), young, rollocking, punkified, and doing things the old-fashioned way, bring it all together to play songs from some of the earliest traditions of American music - tunes from jug bands and traveling shows, back porches and dance halls, southern Appalachian string music and Memphis blues.

However, with a wider musical range than their Appalachian string band origins, O.C.M.S. play more concert halls, festival stages and rock venues than street corners, but a sense of surprise is still very much in play. Old Crow is not the only band playing pre-World War II blues, fiddle tunes, rags, hollers, hokum and jug band music, but they do so with a brazenness born of growing up around AC/DC, Nirvana and Public Enemy. The fiery result equally impresses fussy old-time music scholars; fellow modern day roots musicians and fans that forage on the frontiers of hip. All seats General Admission - $24.00 plus applicable fees.
