Despite geographical improbability, we’re heading west to the Cumberland Gap with today’s guest– the esteemed singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist behind Old Crow Medicine Show: Ketch Secor!

Ketch recently released his first proper solo album, “Story the Crow Told Me,” a 12-song collection that chronicles the rise of his iconic band by incorporating roots, folk, rock, hip-hop, and spoken-word elements to fully encompass the chaotic creative fusion that Ketch is now synonymous with. 

The album is now streaming everywhere.

We catch up with Ketch to discuss the Vermont Lake Monsters, the journey from busking to a big break, how perspective makes way for creativity, traveling, curiosity, Bob Dylan, and so much more. 

Be sure to catch Old Crow Medicine Show on tour throughout 2025, and stay up-to-date on the general happenings and future releases from both Ketch and the band by following @KetchSecor and @CrowMedicine across social media. The respective official webpages are KetchSecor.com and CrowMedicine.com.
