We'll be on the edge of our seats at the Fitz this weekend, waiting to see what the young guys in the rebellious Appalachian string band Old Crow Medicine Show have for us. We'll be glad to have them (back for the first time since September), along with Peter Ostroushko, Prudence Johnson, John Niemann, and more.
