Old Crow Medicine Show

Critter Fuqua has departed Old Crow Medicine Show, according to a Rolling Stone story the band shared on Twitter. Fuqua contributed slide guitar, banjo, guitar and vocals to the two-time Grammy Award-winning group, which was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2013. Fuqua, who co-founded the group with Ketch Secor in 1998, played his last show with them on New Year’s Eve at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. The show was broadcast live on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country.

“Leaving Old Crow is one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make,” Fuqua told Rolling Stone. “These men that I’ve played with for 21 years are not only band mates but dear, dear friends, brothers in arms. Old Crow is more than a band, it’s a spiritual being with many entities that have flowed through it since its inception in 1998. It’s my path that I flow out again, but all the folks that have played with Old Crow, worked with Old Crow, managed Old Crow, booked Old Crow, and loved Old Crow will always be family. Family is eternal.” (Photo: Sterling Munksgard/Shutterstock.com)
