OLD 97'S IN CONCERT:

Alt-country pioneers the Old 97's continue to treat fans to the rollicking live shows that earned them their salt back in the mid-'90s. Featuring frontman Rhett Miller's electric vocals and a boot-stomping rhythm section, the band's performances are never short on energy, creating the perfect atmosphere for barn-burners like "Time Bomb" and "Doreen." Hot on the heels of their 2013 collaboration with country legend Waylon Jennings, the band hits the road for a 2014 tour that's sure to satisfy rock and country fans alike.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed in Dallas in 1993, the Old 97's existed as a popular local bar band before their 1994 debut album Hitchhike to Rhome brought them on a national tour. Their 1995 follow-up LP Wreck Your Life attracted the eye of label execs at Elektra, who signed them for 1997's Too Far to Care. Hailed as pioneers of the burgeoning alt-country scene, the band continued to record and tour, making their first appearance on the Billboard 200 in 2001 with Satellite Rides. Since then, the band's reputation has grown with each successive album, gaining an additional boost from their boisterous live shows. Back on the road in 2014, the band will treat fans to marathon sets that include cuts from their acclaimed 2013 collaboration with country giant Waylon Jennings. Over the course of their career, Old 97's have brought countless venues to capacity, like Saint Andrews Hall in Detroit.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"As always, one of the best live bands in the U.S. The best kept secret around."

"The group of four performed with high energy for an hour and 45 minutes, straight, no breaks. Great performance. If you don't know about the Old 97's, you are missing a great band."

"Unbelievably wonderful! Don't go unless you plan to dance and sweat. Old 97s put on the most reliably kick ass rock show around and have been doing so for years."

    Incredible show as always

    by Bill B on 12/7/23Emo's Austin - Austin

    Never miss an opportunity to see the Old 97s! I have seen them over 25 times and always love them. This show had a few great holiday songs and a bunch of their well known songs. All performed at a very high level. Simply and outstanding show by an outstanding band!

    Old 97’s show was one of the best shows ever!

    by SK on 10/3/23Empire Underground - Albany

    We saw the Old 97’s 30th Anniversary tour and attended the last show of this year’s tour. The venue Empire Underground in Albany, NY was perfect to see such a great band as the Old 97’s! I felt as though we had a private show with the band given it was a small venue and we were right in front of stage! It was as if I stepped back in time like the early days of seeing this band in the mid 90s! We also really loved John Hollier and his talented set of musicians as the opener! Everything was easy and both bands sounded amazing with great stage presence as always!! Will definitely see them again if another show comes up in the US!!

    Old 97's in Albany NY

    by Carrie Anne on 10/3/23Empire Underground - Albany

    AMAZING show! Empire Underground is a fantastic venue I felt like I was back in the 90's in NYC at some back street club. Small intimate setting to see my favorite band. Rhett Miller and the boys were on point with a great set list and tons of energy. Really hope they play here again !

    Old 97s Pier17

    by D. on 10/1/23The Rooftop at Pier 17 - New York

    Great lineup! American Aquarium followed by Drive By Truckers and closing with the Old 97s. Great energy by all three bands. Pier 17 (Manhattan) is an impressive venue with an excellent sound system. This is an outdoor, rooftop venue and was surprised by how good the show sounded.

    Always Great to Watch!

    by Hitomi on 10/1/23The Rooftop at Pier 17 - New York

    Rooftop at Pier 17 is great venue, but sadly it started raining in the middle of the set, but Old 97s put on a wonderful show. High energy and lots of old standards mixed in with their newer songs and of course Timebomb as the closer.

    Awesome show and opener!

    by Des on 9/28/23The Stone Pony - Asbury Park

    It was amazing being up front and personal with Old 97s. And their opener, John Hollier, absolutely blew our minds. Such a great night even on a rainy, windy day in Asbury Park!
