Old Crow Medicine Show Enveloped by the warm, sultry blanket of a south Florida summers, it is time to reach down to the bottom of one's soul for a wish - perchance a dream. My dream, my need , is a Big Surprise. More specifically, the Big Surprise Tour. [...]
Old Crow Medicine Show I guess the real "big surprise" of this tour is that now there's a show at the Beacon that I actually want to see. Though not exactly superstar laden, "The Big Surprise Tour" features some genuinely interesting and talented acts, I just wonder if this combination of "alt-country" veterans and up-and-comers will be enough of a draw to fill the barn that is the Beacon Theater. On that note, tickets for the Big Surprise Tour 's August 6 show at the Beacon go on [...]

OK, so this sounds amazing. Old Crow Medicine Show , David Rawlings Machine (with Gillian Welch ), The Felice Brothers , and Justin Townes Earle have all joined forces for The Big Surprise Tour . This is an event worth traveling for as far as I'm concerned. Here's the skinny: "Shows will be composed of two 90-minute sets broken up by an intermission. In a free form ramshackle flow the bands and artists will share the stage, taking part in each other's songs , [...]
It's been a while since we posted a Lucero Message Board compilation. Really, I'm not too sure what's going on. The curator of the comp hasn't been coming around too much, but we have been graced with a "Spring" compilation. It's shorter than most, but what it lacks from a numbers standpoint it more than makes up for from a quality point. Also, since it was such a hit in my April podcast, I put the Gillian Welch/Old Crow Medicine Show version of The Band's song "The Weight". I hope y'all enjoy this comp, I know I am. [...]
Yep, last night was another great performance by the boys of Old Crow Medicine Show. The energy from the band was something to behold, the band was playing as hard as they could all night long. It was also cool seeing a line go all the way around the building into the back parking lot. The place was packed and it got really hot as the night went on. Justin Townes Earle was fantastic. Until last night I had only heard a few of his songs, but I was blown [...]

A string band that plays classic-sounding bluegrass and folk but was raised on Nirvana, Old Crow Medicine Show has carved its own niche in the Americana landscape. "Caroline," a song from last year's Tennessee Pusher, is a bright, lovely bluegrass number that's even better in concert than on record. Catch Old Crow on tour with [...]

Okay, last month we stumbled, both technically and performance wise, through the debut podcast . Now come month two we're pretty much about to drop the cream of Americana podcasts (from one of the best Americana blogs) on you, and our tech is prepped for the amount of awesome that you're likely to find yourself listening to multiple times a week. I know I'm coming off like the Kanye West of the Americana blogging community, but I don't give a fuck. I like fish sticks and (having listened to this thing 10 times since I made it) I'm telling [...]
Old Crow has released a live video for their song "Caroline" off last years Tennessee Pusher. It combines live shots from their upcoming live DVD release with the studio version of the song. If you've been to an Old Crow show you'll see that it pretty much captures the energy of the boys show. MP3: Old Crow Medicine Show - Caroline
I'd hesitate to call Old Crow Medicine Show a country band. Screw it, I wouldn't. But, last time I called something on this blog with a tinge of "newgrass" or non-traditional sounds accompanying traditional bluegrass as actual "bluegrass," I got an earful. Anywhoo...maybe Old Crow are scream-o hard rock since they use amps and hollar a lot on stage. It's been out for some time, but the accompanying video for "Caroline" is now ready for your viewing pleasure My comments? Eh. I LOVE this band. The most energy I've ever seen on stage was [...]
Next months Old Crow Medicine Show will make another appearance at the Granada Theater supporting their latest album Tennessee Pusher. I recently caught up with Old Crow frontman Ketch Secor and asked him a few questions. If you haven't witnessed a show by Old Crow you're missing out on one of the best shows around. The band will be at the Granada on May 6. You need to get down there and witness the tent revival that is their show. Bona Fide Darling: [...]
The Cliffs of Moher in Galway, Ireland Pardon the interruption, but I have just returned from an odyssey across Europe these past ten days. With stops in Galway, Dublin, London, and Barcelona, I had arguably the most exhilarating 10 days of my entire life. In order to accurately capture the moment, allow me to run down some knowledge I gained. The Irish drink Guinness. No, like a lot of Guinness. Like, breakfast, lunch, and dinner Guinness. Ireland is actually just green fields, black sheep, and stony [...]
