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."

  • Awesome band at the best venue!

    by Nic on 4/8/25The Fillmore - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    As always, Old 97’s put on a rockin good show. Great setlist. Great energy.

  • Old 97’s, yea!

    by Aimthedame on 4/7/25The Fillmore - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    What a fun great show! I only knew a couple of songs before going to this show, but they were great! My husband and I were both humming their songs the next day. They had great energy, good sound and The Fillmore was not nearly as packed as it should have been. Hubby even bought a tshirt.

  • Amazing show!

    by Skully on 11/10/24Scoot Inn - AustinRating: 5 out of 5

    Truly enjoyed the Old 97’s w/Fastball show in Austin at Scoot Inn! High energy show and a wonderful venue.

  • Great Show- Venue too expensive

    by RedBetty on 11/10/24Scoot Inn - AustinRating: 4 out of 5

    The show was great. Sound mix was solid. Didn't appreciate $15 for a beer and tip suggestion starting at 20%.

  • Barrel of fun

    by DJ Tasty Cakes on 10/6/24Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Fun night! Opener Kimmie Bitter also very enjoyable. Bowery Ballroom is one of my favorite venues.

  • Third Time Is The Charm

    by A Considered Opinion on 9/30/249:30 CLUB - WashingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    Third time is the charm after two previous attempts to see the band. The only disappointment was the volume was a bit too loud and drowned out some of the vocals and guitar leads. But no disappointment in the energy and song selection. Some of the best Americana and no sigh of slowing down after 30 years. Do yourself a favor and go see these guys!

  • Still One of the Best

    by Mick on 9/27/24Music Farm - CharlestonRating: 5 out of 5

    Old 97s are still one of the best bar bands ever! So awesome live. Music Farm in Charleston is a great venue.

  • Always a good time

    by Jo Mainer on 9/18/24Bowery Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The Old 97s put on a phenomenal show as expected. Took our 20 something kids and they loved it as much as we did.

  • Old 97s is Tried and True!
