Old Crow Medicine Show @ James Hay Theatre

James Hay Theatre, Christchurch
Thurs 25 March 2010 - tickets from Ticketek

Nashville's Old Crow Medicine Show just can't get enough of little 'ol NZ returning in March for their second, and match larger tour, in under a year.

The band first toured New Zealand early in 2009 and left audiences in awe of the musical tour de force that is Old Crow Medicine Show. It’s fast & furious so 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 band has gone far beyond the label of "Americana" and kicks out good old bluegrass styled music with rock ‘n’ roll 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.

Since meeting in NYC in 1998, the quintet of Willie, Ketch, Critter, Morgan and Gill have progressed from beginnings as travelling buskers to opening for Dolly Parton and touring with Merle Haggard, along with head-lining shows and countless festivals. While the group initially made a name for themselves through the unbridled spirit of their energetic performances and relentless touring, the band has also released three acclaimed albums, clocking up sales of more than 300,000.

It is on the back of their current DVD release ‘Live at the Orange Peel’ and the fantastic reception they received last tour that Old Crow Medicine Show return to New Zealand!
