Old Crow Medicine Show December 5, 2008

Old Crow Medicine Show (OCMS) play old-time string music that's fresh, energetic and distinctly American. Still getting to know their instruments, the players first met in New York, rambled across Canada and then settled for a year in North Carolina to hone their sound: a twangy evocation of sideshow carnivals hopped up on corn liquor. Their sophomore album, Big Iron World, was released in August 2006 and combined traditional American standards with OCMS originals that blended American roots, folk, blues, gospel, bluegrass and a little bit of gritty rock. With their slappy hambone rhythms and jug-band harmonies, these young upstarts sound like old pros. Tickets: $35 and $30, plus applicable service fees. Tickets on sale now at All Tickets Unlimited Locations and The Tennessee Theatre Box Office Doors open at 8:00 PM
