Old Crow Medicine Show has signed with ATO Records; the label that released their 2012 album Carry Me Back and their 2014 breakthrough Remedy, which won a Grammy for Best Folk Album in 2015. The band joins Black Pumas, Brittany Howard, My Morning Jacket, and more at ATO Records.

Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor says, “We are very happy to be coming home to the ATO family. Their passion for music shows in everything they release and we’re just so excited to relaunch our partnership and recommit ourselves to making great records together.”

Jon Salter, President of ATO Records, adds, “OCMS is one of the great and important American bands. They have always challenged themselves creatively and this new project is testament to that. We’re so thrilled and proud to welcome the band back with open arms to the ATO family and we are committed to continue to build their legacy.”

The Nashville-based band has also partnered with Red Light Management and Sally Williams for management. “Old Crow has influenced countless artists and built a devoted following over the years due to their energetic live shows and relatable music,” shares Coran Capshaw, founder of Red Light Management. “Red Light is proud to be partnering with Sally Williams to continue the growth of this great band.”

Over the last year Old Crow Medicine Show has released three tracks that all speak to the current state of the world, including “Nashville Rising,” a song written after Nashville’s tornadoes that directly benefited relief efforts; “Quarantined” a cheeky, classic country-inspired tune about not being able to kiss your lover while quarantined; and “Pray For America,” which was commissioned by NPR as an inspirational piece for listeners coming out of COVID. They also appeared on a duet with Keb’ Mo’ titled “The Medicine Man,” and recently teamed up with filmmaker Julia Golonka to create a video for their 2008 track “Motel In Memphis,” raising funds for Nashville’s community-based grassroots organization Gideon’s Army.

Old Crow Medicine Show is currently on tour, returning to the Ryman for their annual New Years Eve performances on Dec. 30 and 31.
