Sat., April 4
Old Crow Medicine Show, Variety Playhouse - These veteran bluegrassers look to the past for a tour they are calling The O.C.M.S. Big Iron World Tour:Back to the Roots. While that's a mouthful to fit on a T-shirt, the concept of reproducing two early albums (from 2004 and 2006) in their entirety, with stripped-down instrumentation, is an intriguing one. Fans who jumped on board early will appreciate this return to when playing old time string-band music in the early '00s was a radical concept. Three co-founders are still on board, stories about the songs are promised, and this seems like it'll be a fascinating stroll down memory lane for one of the more progressive and successful roots music outfits of the past two decades. - Hal Horowitz

From the venue:

Old Crow Medicine Show will return to rooms where it all began this spring with the O.C.M.S. Big Iron World Tour: Back to the Roots — a series of intimate shows celebrating the band’s earliest recordings and some of the places where those songs first took shape.

On this tour, the band will perform their first two label releases — O.C.M.S. and Big Iron World — in their entirety. The setlists will trace the foundation of Old Crow’s catalog, played in smaller venues where the band first stopped in the early days, many of which they haven’t returned to in years. The performances will be presented in a more stripped-down configuration, emphasizing the songs themselves — built to carry their weight without spectacle, production tricks, or distance from the audience. It’s a return to closeness: songs played up close, in rooms where every word and harmony matters.

Together, the Back to the Roots tour and the vinyl releases reflect a band that has helped define the modern American roots movement — and continues to lead it. By returning to these songs, these rooms, and this way of playing, Old Crow Medicine Show underscores what they’ve always done best: push tradition forward, expand the reach of string-band and folk music, and remind audiences that songs built with care and conviction can last, travel, and keep finding new life.
