Since getting their start busking on street corners in the late 90s, the two-time Grammy Award-winning band Old Crow Medicine Show has brought their raucous live show to audiences around the world, touring with the likes of Willie Nelson and John Prine. Celebrating their 25th anniversary, this SMF return finds the Nashville-based six-piece playing their highly acclaimed early albums O.C.M.S. and Big Iron World back to back. “In a lot of people’s minds folk music seems to be relegated to a place of supposed purity, but we’ve always wanted our folk music to be the soundtrack to real living rather than something stuck behind the glass in a museum,” says frontman Ketch Secor. “We’d much prefer to smash that glass and take those instruments back to the street corners, maybe break some strings and bleed on them a bit. To us music works best when you sing it loud and hard and lusty until your throat gets sore—it’s meant to hurt when it comes out right.” This is their second SMF appearance, following a 2013 debut.
