Old Crow Medicine Show
With a little luck and a whole lot of talent, Old Crow Medicine Show went from playing their slash-and-burn brand of old-time music on the streets of Boone, North Carolina, to bringing down the house at the Grand Ole Opry. Now based in Nashville, these Grammy winners and Grand Ole Opry inductees are bringing audiences to their feet coast to coast and then some.
The band for this broadcast: Critter Fuqua, Kevin Hayes, Morgan Jahnig, Gill Landry, Chance McCoy, Ketch Secor, and Cory Younts.

Butch Thompson
For 12 years of his five-decade career, Butch Thompson was the house pianist on A Prairie Home Companion, dating back to the show’s second broadcast in July 1974. As a soloist, he earned a worldwide reputation as a master of ragtime, stride and classic jazz piano. Described by Jazz Journal International as “the premier player in traditional jazz today,” Thompson also performed with his well-known trio, his eight-piece New Orleans Jazz Originals, and with symphony orchestras, including the Hartford Symphony, the St. Louis Symphony, the Minnesota Orchestra, and the Cairo (Egypt) Symphony.
Prudence Johnson
Prudence Johnson’s long career in music has taken her from honky-tonks to Carnegie Hall, from the theater stage to the Silver Screen (Robert Redford’s A River Runs Through It), from the Midwest to the Middle East. Her dozen-plus album releases include Little Dreamer, a collection of international lullabies, Moon Country, which features the music of Hoagy Carmichael, and ’S Gershwin, a collaboration with pianist Dan Chouinard.
Erica Rhodes
Erica Rhodes was just 10 years old for her first A Prairie Home Companion appearance. A lot has happened since: She starred in the 2008 indie horror film Plague Town, which was shown in festivals and theaters nationwide, and she had roles in Go West, Javatown, and Blindsided —and also guest starred on Modern Family and New Girl. She’s funny too: audiences coast to coast have flocked to her stand-up comedy gigs.

My daughter's wedding was this afternoon so "I was busy." Weddings in the family are always fraught but all went smoothly.
