Music

Old Crow Medicine Show

Stepping into the spotlight eight years back with the now canonized “Wagon Wheel,” Old Crow Medicine Show remains the most appealing old-timey band in the land. With a songbook built on folk, bluegrass, fiddle tunes, and prewar blues, the Virginia ensemble remains master of selecting and restoring American musical history in a way that merits both “traditional” and “alternative” labels. Despite losing core-member Willie Watson, OCMS continues to impress live. Chuck Mead of Nashville institution BR5-49 opens with his Grassy Knoll Boys. – Kevin Curtin

ACL Live at the Moody Theater, 310 W. Willie Nelson Blvd.

The Faint

Soundtrack to my schoolgirlhood, the Faint’s third full-length, 2001’s Danse Macabre, put the “new” back in New Wave. Reissued this week, the Nebraskan, Saddle Creek Records quartet’s defining LP goths up Eighties UK synth-punk, and as a new, 2-CD deluxe edition, Danse Macabre returns in an increasingly diverse electro landscape. Performing the album in its entirety, the Faint brings along label- and citymates Icky Blossoms, an electronic trio. Trust slots in the middle. – Abby Johnston

Emo's, 2015 Riverside
