Old Crow Medicine Show to Embark on Intimate Concert Tour

Old Crow Medicine Show will embark on 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.

Kicking off on March 18 at Nashville’s historic Station Inn, the tour will find the band performing the entirety of their first two releases, O.C.M.S. and Big Iron World, in a stripped-down configuration. Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 23 at 10 a.m. local time on their website. See a full list of dates below.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years since the launch of our O.C.M.S. album and 20 years since our second studio record, Big Iron World,” says the band’s frontman Ketch Secor. “Working with David Rawlings plus the presence of Gillian Welch is what really made the magic on these albums. Being a string band back in the early 2000s, well ahead of the Americana music movement, made us an odd fit in Music City. But going our own way despite the odds was the only foreseeable path for fiddles and banjos in the 21st century, and it worked. People heard it all around the world, and the doors came swinging open.”

In December, Old Crow Medicine Show released their first-ever holiday album OCMS XMAS. This release followed their 2023 Grammy-nominated album Jubilee, which celebrated their 25th anniversary as a band, and in 2024, the group made their NPR Tiny Desk Concert debut.

Last summer, Ketch Secor released his first solo album, Story The Crow Told Me, and made his debut as the new host of the long-running travel and culture series Tennessee Crossroads. He spoke about both projects on Rolling Stone's Nashville Now podcast and gave more insight into his Louder Than Guns documentary, which premiered at the 2025 Nashville Film Festival and screened as part of the 2025 NYU Graduate Film Chair's Workshop.
