Old Crow Medicine Show received the great honor of being inducted as the newest members of the historic Grand Ole Opry on Sept. 17, 2013. Other highlights from the year included winning the Grammy Award for “Best Long Form Music Video” for the film “Big Easy Express,” and having their classic single, “Wagon Wheel,” receive the RIAA’s Platinum certification for selling more than one million copies.

The band got its start busking on street corners in New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way with their boundless energy and spirit. They eventually found themselves in Boone, N.C., where they caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy. He immediately invited the band to play at his MerleFest, helping to launch their career. Shortly thereafter the band relocated to Nashville, Tenn., for a residency at the Grand Ole Opry, where they entertained the crowd between shows.

It’s been nearly 15 years since these humble beginnings, and the band has gone on to tour the world, sell more than 800,000 albums, become frequent guests on “A Prairie Home Companion,” and play renowned festivals like Bonnaroo, Coachella and the Newport Folk Festival.

Old Crow Medicine Show now have five studio albums to their name. Their newest album “Remedy” was released in July 2014 and includes “Sweet Amarillo,” a collaboration with Bob Dylan and “Doc’s Day,” a tribute to Doc Watson and his son, Merle.
