With great joy, Love Police, with partners CMC – Country Music Channel - and Rhythms, bring the amazing OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW to Australian for the very first time.

Bluegrass and folk lovers, hipsters and country fans, be prepared to get down in a whole new way once these five boys from Nashville take to the stage. The show will be a two set affair in the old time tradition on ''An Evening with Old Crow Medicine Show''

The band has gone far beyond the label of ''Americana'' and kicks out good old bluegrass styled music with attitude. They abandon the overdone country theme of dead dogs and lost women for heart felt get-downs about homegrown weed and trailer dwelling meth heads.

Travelling way down south to promote their recent release on Shock ''Tennessee Pusher'', marvel at Willie, Ketch, Critter, Morgan and Gill as they bring their hillbilly bohemian style to our shores. The band will play select dates in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne as well as Golden Plains, CMC Rocks The Snowys and Mossvale Music festivals.

The facts about Old Crow Medicine Show....

The quintet met in New York in 1998 and hit the road, travelling city to city in a van and busking in the streets. They eventually settled for a year in North Carolina, where they ran into a bit of good fortune while playing in front of a local pharmacy to an impressed Doc Watson; the folk icon promptly scheduled the band to play at his MerleFest.

Soon after, OCMS relocated to Nashville and found themselves gracing the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, opening for Dolly Parton, touring with Merle Haggard and regularly appearing on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion. They caught the attention of Nettwerk Records in 2003 and signed on to release their debut album O.C.M.S, which they recorded at RCA’s legendary Studio B and Woodland Sound Studio with producer/guitarist David Rawlings (Gillian Welch, Robyn Hitchcock) at the helm. O.C.M.S was released in 2004 to critical acclaim; the New Yorker said of the album, “Heartbreaking, plunky ballads and unfastened fiddle tunes charged with youthful vigor,” while the Village Voice predicted, “Fame will soon lift her skirt for the band.”

Their sophomore album, Big Iron World, was released in August 2006 and combined traditional American standards (including Woody Guthrie’s “Union Maid”) with OCMS originals that blended American roots, folk, blues, gospel, bluegrass and a little bit of gritty rock. Again produced by Rawlings, the album caught the attention of critics from Billboard to Vanity Fair and the first single, a cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Down Home Girl,” quickly became the #2 most added song at Triple A radio. Combined, the two albums have gone on to sell over 300,000 units.

OCMS released their third album called TENNESSEE PUSHER in September ‘08, this time teaming up with legendary producer Don Was (Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, The Rolling Stones). The album was recorded at the famed A&M Studios and is made up of 13 infectious tracks, 12 of which are Old Crow originals and one American standard called “Always Lift Him Up” by Blind Alfred Reed.

OCMS can attribute much of their success to their relentless touring schedule. Between headlining shows and countless festivals, the band is constantly on the road and thrives off their fans and live shows. They have made a name for themselves as energetic performers with an unbridled spirit.
