Old Crow Medicine Show will release their new record Union Made on 5th June 2026 with Hartland Records via Firebird Music. The album finds the two-time Grammy-winning string band reflecting upon the people, places, and stories of a nation-state on the brink of its 250th birthday. It was inspired by the band’s nearly 30-year trek from the street corners of Western North Carolina to the nation’s most celebrated stages. They say the album is a love letter to the America that was, the America that is, and the America that could be. The band has spent more than a quarter century blending the vernacular traditions of old-school America, including mountain music, bluegrass, old-time, and folk, into modern songs that continue to resonate across generations and geographies. Their music acts as a cultural bridge, connecting the past with the present.
Union Made follows Old Crow Medicine Show’s first-ever holiday album, OCMS XMAS, which released in December 2025, and Ketch Secor’s first solo album, Story The Crow Told Me. Secor has also made his debut as the new host of the long-running Nashville PBS travel and culture series Tennessee Crossroads.
Produced by longtime bandmember and bassist Morgan Jahnig and recorded in the band’s own East Nashville studio, Union Made is Old Crow Medicine Show’s most collaborative project to date, featuring appearances from nearly a dozen guests, including Maggie Rose, Turnpike Troubadours’ Evan Felker, Jesse Welles, Lee Oskar, John Carter Cash and Ana Cristina Cash.

Old Crow Medicine Show has shared their new single Last American Waltz feat. Molly Tuttle, which is accompanied by a music video filmed in the dancehall of Nashville’s American Legion. Last American Waltz unfolds with the kind of warmth and emotional resonance that has long defined American roots music.
“Last American Waltz is a love song to America in 3/4 time,” says bandleader Secor. “We wanted it to feel timeless – the kind of song that could drift across a dancehall floor at midnight or echo through an old American Legion hall after the lights come up. Having Molly Tuttle join us on this track brought even more heart and soul to the recording.” You can see the video for Last American Waltz below
Last American Waltz follows the band’s previous single My Side Of The Mountain, a generation-spanning collaboration co-written by Secor, Tuttle and Luke Combs, and featuring bluegrass legends Del McCoury and Ronnie McCoury.
