Ketch Secor

Ketch Secor is best known as a founding member, frontman, and fiddle player for the Grammy Award-winning Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show. Born in Virginia and raised in Tennessee, Secor helped bring traditional folk and old-time music back into the mainstream with hits like "Wagon Wheel," which he famously co-wrote using a Bob Dylan chorus. Since forming Old Crow in the late 1990s, he has been a passionate advocate for roots music, blending Appalachian storytelling with modern energy.

In addition to his work with Old Crow Medicine Show, Secor is also a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and occasional political commentator, often using music to shine a light on social and cultural issues. His vibrant stage presence and deep reverence for American folk traditions have made him a key figure in the ongoing revival of classic country and string band music.
