They eventually found themselves in Boone, North Carolina where they caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy. He invited the band to play at his festival, MerleFest, and the rest is history. It’s been over twenty years since these humble beginnings. The band has gone on to receive the honor of being inducted as members of the Grand Ole Opry and have won two Grammy Awards: “Best Folk Album” for "Remedy" (2014) and “Best Long Form Music Video” for "Big Easy Express" (2013). Additionally, their classic single, “Wagon Wheel”, received the RIAA’s Double-Platinum certification in 2019 for selling over 2,000,000 copies while the band’s debut album "O.C.M.S." has been certified Gold (500,000 copies). The band’s latest release is "Jubilee" (Aug 2023) released via ATO Records. Old Crow Medicine Show on Facebook / Instagram
