Ketch Secor

Founder and Frontman of Old Crow medicine show

Ketch Secor is best known as the founder and frontman of Old Crow Medicine Show: the two-time Grammy Award-winning band behind the beloved anthem "Wagon Wheel" and whose triumphs include induction into the Grand Ole Opry and double-platinum certification. Ketch is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, author, speaker, school co-founder, and teacher. As he wrote in his New York Times op-ed following the Covenant School shooting, Ketch believes country music has a unique opportunity to bring gun owners to the table to negotiate gun safety. Eager to work through the gridlock on this issue, he joined 97Percent's advisory board because of our focus on engaging gun owners and advocating for pragmatic, impactful solutions that both non-gun owners and gun owners want.
