Old Crow Medicine Show has announced that its long-running New Year’s Eve tradition at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium will continue with shows on December 30 and 31 featuring support from North Mississippi Allstars. The December 31 show will mark Old Crow’s 17th New Year’s Eve performance at the Mother Church.
Along with the announcement, the two-time GRAMMY-winning string band has shared a black-and-white music video for “Revolution Now,” a highlight from its acclaimed release Union Made featuring vocals from Turnpike Troubadours frontman Evan Felker.
“Lee Oskar and I wrote ‘Revolution Now’ from that feeling that something has to change, even when nobody seems to agree on the way forward,” says bandleader Ketch Secor. “It’s not a song about left or right. It’s about loving this country enough to wrestle with where we are and wonder how we find our way home. Evan Felker brought exactly the kind of honesty and urgency the song needed. The video reaches back through images of Americans working, organizing and standing together through other unsettled times—a reminder that this isn’t the first time we’ve had to figure out how to find our path forward.”
Union Made finds Old Crow Medicine Show reflecting on the people, places, and stories of America in its 250th year. Recorded in the band’s own East Nashville studio, the album is their most collaborative to date, with a Luke Combs co-write and appearances from nearly a dozen guests including Maggie Rose, Molly Tuttle, Del McCoury, Ronnie McCoury, Jesse Welles, Lee Oskar, John Carter Cash and Ana Cristina Cash.
Last year, Old Crow Medicine Show released its first-ever holiday album, OCMS XMAS. Secor also released his first solo album, Story The Crow Told Me, became the new host of the long-running Nashville PBS travel and culture series Tennessee Crossroads, and released the documentary Louder Than Guns.
Old Crow Medicine Show will continue touring through summer and fall before returning to the Ryman for the year-end shows.
