“Howdy I'm Ketch from Old Crow Medicine Show. Listen to this playlist when you're cooking in the kitchen, on a road trip with pals, or out by the backyard fire pit. It not only showcases some of my favorite songs but reveals what I believe is a powerful truth about popular music, that folk traditions are threaded thru almost every pop music innovation we hear. When I listen to Congolese rock n roll from the 50's, Nashville country pop from the 60's, New York synths from the 80's and onward I hear reinterpretations of those elemental sounds at the foundation of America's song. I hear the fiddle in Cyndi Lauper and the roll of a banjo in Talking Heads. I hear the Gaelic tones in Midnight Oil and the Tin Pan Alley in Chris Isaac. Lucinda Williams echoes the street corner organ grinder and the B-52's sound like shape note singers to me. You know? So crank it up and listen for the through line to the past. If you hear it, like I do, then hold on tight and don't let go!”
The two-time GRAMMY award-winning band Old Crow Medicine Show was just nominated for Best Folk Album for the critically acclaimed Jubilee that was released earlier this year via ATO Records. The nomination is the band’s third overall and arrives as the group celebrates their 25-year anniversary.

Ben Lee began his career as a young teenager in the early 90’s, in the Australian lo-fi punk band Noise Addict, who were discovered by taste-making artists Sonic Youth and the Beastie Boys. That began an extraordinary career that has been both eclectic and eccentric, and still growing more strange and fascinating each day. Whether collaborating in one-off projects like the Bens (with Ben Folds and Ben Kweller), producing a Grammy award winning music/comedy album for Margaret Cho (“Cho Dependent”), duetting with Sarah Silverman, writing a psychedelic children’s musical with American literary legend Tom Robbins, or simply strumming away on his guitar and putting out over 20 solo albums of songs that have made romantics swoon for multiple generations, Ben’s career is always (to quote his song “Ache 4 You”) “confusing…but never dull”. 

The past few years has seen a renewed interest in Ben’s eclectic approach to creativity, gaining a new audience on TikTok for his offbeat sense of humor, and his 20th solo album “I’M FUN!” which Rolling Stone called “the best of his career” which featured collaborations with Jon Brion, Shamir, Sadie Dupius, Zooey Deschanel and Christian Lee Hutson. Now, collaborating with his wife, actress Ione Skye, on their company Weirder Together, Lee is supporting other artists create bizarre and beautiful content spanning everything from podcasts to music to fanzines to film projects. “Ive always done what seemed fun to me at the time. There is no other compass for me than what is enjoyable…I don’t look at life as a linear adventure,” he explains “I very rarely know where Im going next - I follow what I am passionate about and where I can be useful.”
