Though the temperature outside was nearly freezing, inside the Boulder Theater Old Crow Medicine Show kept the audience toasty with their foot-stomping music.
Promoting their latest album, Tennessee Pusher to the sold-out crowd, the band started their first set with the promise from Willie Watson of “a great evening of music.”

Ketch added that they had taken the long way to Boulder and it had taken them several weeks. “When we got started we didn’t know who the President was gonna be.”
Next Go ‘Round
Ketch said, “It’s good to be back in Boulder. It always seems we end up in Boulder, save the best for last.” He dedicated the next song to his sister.

Ketch introduced the band, and they jammed with Tell It To Me.
As they came back out from the encore break, Willie said, “It sounds like they want to hear one more.”
