Ketch Secor Talks Old Crow Medicine Show, Songwriting, Launching an Elementary School

Ketch Secor, front man and principle songwriter for the famed Americana band, Old Crow Medicine Show, has been keeping himself busy during his time sheltering in place in Nashville, Tennessee. Secor, a bundle of energy, has been releasing regular episodes of his “Hootenanny” digital series and today the songwriter also released a new video for his latest song, “Quarantine.”

Secor, whose presence runs the gamut between artist, historian and philanthropist, has his fingers in many proverbial pies, including chartering a new elementary school in his hometown (more on this later).

We caught up with the golden-throated, rubbery-voiced singer to ask him how he first came to play and love music, how he maintains his high energy levels, how busking changed his life and much more.
