Vail, Colo., March 13, 2023 — There’s an intoxicating yet comforting feeling that comes when Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel” comes on the radio, in a bar or sporting event or really anywhere the viral song is played in the country. We all know the words, and the nostalgia that comes with it. The song, co-written by Bob Dylan and Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, was first released in 2004, with endless covers to come, including from the legendary Darius Rucker.
Old Crow Medicine Show will un-hitch its wagon in Vail on Sunday, July 16, for a performance at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. Tickets are available March 17 at 10 a.m. and start at $49.50 for reserved pavilion seating and $36.50 for general admission lawn seats. Visit grfavail.com/old-crow-medicine-show for tickets and more information.
Old Crow Medicine Show began in September of 1998 and now consists of Secor (fiddle, harmonica, guitar, banjo, vocals); Morgan Jahnig (upright bass); Cory Younts (mandolin, keyboards, drums, vocals); Jerry Pentecost (drums, mandolin); Mike Harris (slide guitar, guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, vocals); and Mason Via (guitar, gitjo, vocals).
Since its inception – a cross-country busking tour as teenagers – Old Crow Medicine Show has gone on to win two Grammy Awards, a CMT Music Award and the Trailblazer Award at the Americana Honors & Awards Show, in addition to numerous nominations.
The band has performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, opened for the Dave Matthews Band and headlined the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, among other notable career accomplishments.
More than “Wagon Wheel,” Old Crow Medicine Show has released nine albums over the years, as well as four live albums.
Be prepared to rock like a wagon wheel when Old Crow Medicine Show performs at The Amp in Vail on July 16. Visit grfavail.com/old-crow-medicine-show for tickets and more information.
