Old Crow Medicine Show is a Bluegrass group from Nashville, Tennessee. Along with original songs, the band performs many pre-World War II blues and folk songs. The style of music they perform is sometimes called alt-country, some other times called "old-time"; but today more often referred to as Americana. The genre attracts many people, from bluegrass-loving babyboomers, to young country fans who find the lyrics edgy and the music provocative.

The band originally formed when Ketch Secor gathered the musicians in and around Ithaca and Trumansburg, NY. They then left to busk street corners in Canada, perfecting their sound before heading to the south. The band was ultimately discovered by Doc Watson's daughter, Nancy.

Their 2004 album O.C.M.S. was selected by CMT (Country Music Television) as one of the top-10 bluegrass albums of that year. Their current tour includes bars, festivals, and larger venues.

They make frequent guest appearances on A Prairie Home Companion.

The song "Wagon Wheel" is written based on a chorus composed by Bob Dylan for the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
