Old Crow Medicine Show got their start busking on street corners in 1998, from New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way with their boundless energy and spirit. Eventually, while playing in front of a pharmacy in Boone, North Carolina, they caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson, who invited them to play at his festival, MerleFest, and the rest is history.
It’s been more than 20 years, and the band has since been inducted as members of the Grand Ole Opry. They won two Grammy® Awards: “Best Folk Album” for Remedy (2014) and “Best Long Form Music Video” for Big Easy Express (2013). Their classic single, “Wagon Wheel,” received the RIAA’s Double-Platinum certification in 2019 for selling more than 2 million copies, and their debut album, O.C.M.S., has been certified Gold (500,000 copies). The band’s latest album, Live at The Ryman (2019), was released on Columbia via The Orchard.
On their whirlwind new album, Paint This Town, the band offers a glimpse into American mythology and the wildly colorful characters who populate it, from Elvis Presley to Eudora Welty, while shedding a bright light on the darker aspects of the country’s legacy.
