Nashville-based old-time string band Old Crow Medicine Show has announced a summer tour that will bring the band to Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheatre on Aug. 10.
“The Big Surprise Tour” is set to kick off Aug. 4 in Hampton Beach, N.H., and will carry the band through nine cities in just over a week. A post on the band’s Web site also reveals that the show will consist of “two 90-minute sets broken up by an intermission.”
Being billed as an “Old Fashioned Revue,” Dave Rawlings Machine (a new venture between David Rawlings and Gillian Welch), The Felice Brothers and Justin Townes Earle will join Old Crow on the tour and share the stage through each other’s sets.
“In a free form ramshackle flow, the bands and artists will share the stage, taking part in each other’s songs, resurrecting old standards, and playing newly written collaborative material as they go,” the post reads. “Each evening is sure to be a unique experience as they all put their many combined years of musicianship and knowledge of song-craft and American music into play for these sessions.”
Tickets for the Cary stop go on sale Friday, June 12 at 10 a.m. for $35 for general admission pit and reserved seating, and $28 for the lawn.
Old Crow is touring behind 2008’s Tennessee Pusher, while The Felice Brothers saw its second major release on April 7 and Justin Townes Earle released Midnight at the Movies on March 3.
