The Rococo Theatre, host to many a summer wedding celebration, has likely had "Wagon Wheel" on a reception playlist or two (or 200) over the past decade. In August, the Americana band that turned scraps of Bob Dylan lyrics into a country station staple will perform at the venue.Â
The Old Crow Medicine Show will play the Rococo on Aug. 12. The group of six Nashville musicians, half of whom play banjo from time to time, won a 2015 Grammy for Best Folk Album for the band's most recent release, "Remedy."Â
The Grand Ole Opry members last month performed two shows during which they covered Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" at the Country Music Hall of Fame. This summer, the Show heads out on the road for a co-headlining tour with Brandi Carlile. Those performances will be held at amphitheaters, bowls and at least one venue with the word Rocks in its title. The Old Crow Medicine Show comes to Lincoln alone, hence the cozier venue.Â

The seating arrangement is a rare one for the Rococo, in that the dance floor area will be for standing (and presumably dancing) rather than assigned seating, as is the case with most concerts there. Seating in the orchestra, loge and balcony will cost the same as standing up front. All tickets are $39.50 plus fees.
Tickets go on sale June 10 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased through , or by phone at 402-476-6540.
