In a time of increasing political and social division, the new documentary Louder Than Guns seeks to do something many have struggled to accomplish—foster meaningful conversations about gun violence across all aisles of the political and social divide. Directed by filmmaker Doug Pray and journalist David Greene, the film was inspired by a song of the same name, written by Ketch Secor, the frontman of Old Crow Medicine Show, in the wake of the Covenant School mass shooting in Nashville.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you imagine the tools of a guitar shredder, chances are you see a sharp-angled electric 6-string running into a smokin'-hot, fully saturated British halfstack of sorts—the type of thing that'll blow your hair back. You might not be picturing an acoustic steel-string or a banjo, and that's a mistake, because some of the most face-melting players to walk this earth work unplugged—like Molly Tuttle. The 31-year-old Californian has been performing live for roughly 20 years, following in a deep family tradition of roots-music players. Tuttle studied at Berklee College of Music, and has gone on to collaborate with some of the biggest names in bluegrass and folk, including Béla Fleck, Billy Strings, Buddy Miller, Sierra Hull, and Old Crow Medicine Show. Her 2023 record, City of Gold, won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album. The furious flatpicking solo on “San Joaquin,” off of that Grammy-winning record, is the subject of this unplugged episode of Shred With Shifty. Shiflett can shred on electric alright, but how does he hold up running leads on acoustic? It's a whole different ballgame. Thankfully, Tuttle is on hand, equipped with a Pre-War Guitars Co. 6-string, to demystify the techniques and gear that let her tear up the fretboard. Tune in to hear plenty of insider knowledge on how to amplify and EQ acoustics, what instruments can stand in for percussion in bluegrass groups, and how to improvise in bluegrass music.

ReString Appalachia www.americansongcatcher.com/ReStringAppalachia ReString Appalachia is an initiative by American Songcatcher to get instruments that were lost due to Helene back in the hands of musicians throughout Appalachia. This effort is supported by over 125 roots musicians, including Bela Fleck, Rhiannon Giddens, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Infamous Stringdusters and many more, as well as several non profits, instrument makers, venues, festivals, actors, visual artists and media outlets. - It's been nearly a month since Helene brought unfathomable devastation to Appalachia. I've honestly never been so consumed with grief after a natural disaster. I have countless memories of performing, camping and hiking... so many good times throughout Appalachia over the last 15 years. I got married in Swannanoa. I almost moved to both Brevard and Asheville. I also have dozens and dozens of dear, talented friends throughout East TN, WNC, SC, North GA, and FL. It's been hard to embrace that it'll never be the same, that so many are suffering. Words fell short in a time like this. Action speaks, and I had to do something. So, through the American Songcatcher network, I've been quietly building an initiative that will put instruments back in the hands of those who lost them due to the storm. The exact, or comparable instrument. This effort is called ReString Appalachia. Whether you're a professional, or picking for the love of it, the importance of continuing the living tradition of Appalachian music culture is paramount, and American Songcatcher aims to keep it that way. Over the next month, you're going to see 100's of musicians, non profits, venues, festivals, actors, artists and media outlets post about ReString Appalachia. If you, or someone you know lost an instrument due to Helene, if you have instruments to donate, or if you are seeking a tax-exempt donation to help us cover the costs, please visit the link in the show notes. American Songcatcher will be back very soon with a very special live episode on Western North Carolina music history. Thank you for listening. Here's to the songs of old, may they live on forever. www.americansongcatcher.com/ReStringAppalachia --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/americansongcatcher/support

On August 9th, 2024, host and producer Joe Kendrick traveled with WNCW intern and rising Carleton College senior, Will Prim, to the PNC Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, just ahead of Ketch Secor's show that night supporting Hank Williams Jr. Old Crow Medicine Show is headlining the Earl Scruggs Music Festival in Tryon, North Carolina, over Labor Day weekend 2024.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Multi-award-winning bluegrass artist and Grand Ole Opry member Rhonda Vincent's new single “Wagon Wheel” from her upcoming album Destinations And Fun Places is available today! As a follow-up to Vincent's first two singles from the record, “City Of New Orleans,” and “Please Mr. Please,” “Wagon Wheel” continues to set the pace for a themed project nearly two years in the making. The theme of Vincent's new record is just as the title says, “destinations” and “fun places,” which will take every listener on a journey through different cities, states, and other places of interest around the country. Originally recorded by Old Crow Medicine Show, Bob Dylan and made world-renowned by Darius Rucker, Rhonda adds her own unique style and once you give it a listen, you will hear a very recognizable voice singing harmonies! “Wagon Wheel” was premiered exclusively by People.com. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gary-stuckey/support

Looking back over the past fifty-or-so years, we find a large gathering assembled under a large, all-inclusive tent, called Americana. There's hardly a definition that's been assigned and it's hardly what we'd term ‘a genre'. It is, rather, a mood of the music and a narrative of the storytelling defines it. Like the dozens of genres that line it's walls, we've come to know what we're listening to: blues, gospel, folk and tradition, jazz, and everything in between. This week we'll be stepping into that tent to congregate and celebrate that ‘sound we know' called Americana. The digital bins will take us only so far back, celebrating the music of Bob Dylan, Buddy Miller, Gillian Welch, Joe Ely, Old Crow Medicine Show and a couple dozen others. Just what's needed and built on playlists worthy of the very best of the Americana Hours broadcast each morning here on KOWS Community Radio. If you're a fan…or want to know more about what's under the tent…drop on by this coming Friday morning here on Deeper Roots.

It's been quite a stir for the Minnesota progressive folk-rock-country sextet Maygen & The Birdwatcher. In late 2021 they released their debut full-length album, Moonshine – (which Americana UK wrote is “stunning”) – earning them Midwest Country Music Awards for Album of the Year and Americana Artist of the Year) and landed opportunities to join festival stages with bands like Old Crow Medicine Show, Paul Cauthen, Grace Potter, and The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. They continued the momentum in late 2022, releasing Moonshine's companion EP, with the “lively and charming” (Adventures in Americana) Bootleggin' At The Flower Shoppe which took home a 2nd round of wins for Album of the Year and Americana Artist of the Year at the Midwest Country Music Organization's annual awards show. The mood-boosting Americana band adventurously blurs the sounds of country, bluegrass, folk, and blues. Lead singers Maygen Lacey, and Noah Neumann intentionally work to draw on their vastly different musical influences and vocal styles to bring a fresh and unexpected mix of songs to light. From beauty to grit, sadness to silliness, the common thread is that this crew loves music, and playing it together, and it shows. 

The founding frontman of Old Crow Medicine Show sits down with Matt Pelsor for a talk about their latest album Jubilee, including the collaborations with Sierra Ferrell, Mavis Staples, and former Old Crow member Willie Watson. He also talks about his songwriting partnership with two-time Bluegrass Grammy winner Molly Tuttle, and what it's like to write a Christmas song in July. Old Crow Medicine Show play Indianapolis' Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park on Saturday, July 13th.

This week on Roots Music Rambler, hosts Francesca Folinazzo (Frank) and Jason Falls (Falls) visit with Texas-based country artist Bri Bagwell.

When comedy and magic collide, the result is a spectacle of humor and surprise that captivates audiences. This podcast episode introduces us to the remarkable Danny Winston, whose journey through the realms of comedy, illusion, and music is as multifaceted as it is fascinating. Host Annette Smith engages Danny in a conversation that is both enlightening and entertaining, providing listeners with an intimate look into the life of a performer who has mastered the art of bringing joy to others. Danny's playlist is a treasure trove of memories, each song echoing a significant moment in his life. From the rebellious beats of Cypress Hill to the soulful twang of "Wagon Wheel," the music that underscores his narrative is as diverse as his talents. This rich musical tapestry not only sets the stage for his performances but also serves as a time machine, transporting him back to his formative years, filled with high school escapades and early encounters with the art of magic. The discussion delves into the profound impact of Danny's father, a prankster whose legacy shaped his son's unique blend of humor and illusion. We hear anecdotes of playful mischief, insights into the delicate craft of managing a live audience, and the unexpected reactions that come with revealing one's profession as a magician. These stories are not just entertaining but offer a glimpse into the intricacies of performance art, where timing, wit, and spontaneity are essential tools of the trade. One cannot ignore the role of comedy in navigating life's challenges, as Danny highlights the cathartic power of humor in confronting sensitive topics. By marrying truth with deception, he crafts narratives that resonate with audiences, turning personal trials into shared laughter. This approach to comedy is therapeutic, allowing both the comedian and the audience to find solace in humor, even when tackling the most delicate of subjects. The episode also celebrates creative collaborations, such as Danny's work with Canadian comedy legends and the surprising revelations that come from guest-curated playlists. These collaborative experiences enrich his artistic journey, providing unexpected opportunities for growth and reflection. Music remains a constant companion, whether pumping up the energy with "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys before a show or reminiscing about the raw authenticity of Old Crow Medicine Show. As we conclude the episode, Danny shares his latest creative endeavors, teasing an upcoming comedy-horror flick set to premiere on Amazon Prime. His character, Pastor Sparks, embodies the quirkiness one would expect from a magician with a soft spot for Street Fighter II. His parting words of wisdom, paired with a recommendation to start each day with music, leave listeners with a sense of optimism and the affirmation that life is indeed better with a soundtrack. In this podcast episode, the laughter is contagious, the illusions are enchanting, and the music is deeply personal. It's an exploration of how Danny Winston has woven his love for stand-up, magic, and melodies into a vibrant tapestry of life, offering us a chance to reflect on the soundtracks of our own lives. Join us for a journey through the magical symphony of a stand-up life, where every day is a new opportunity for a laugh, a trick, and a song.Check out Danny Whitson hereListen to the playlist on SpotifyWatch the episode on YouTubeFollow Music Junkies everywhere  Make sure to HIT that LIKE BUTTON and SUBSCRIBE to our Channel to be notified of new episodes!Support the show

Last year, in the wake of the shooting, students showed up to the state capitol steps with signs in hand, carrying the message that they wanted their legislators to do something about the violence. We invited a panel of high school students to This Is Nashville to share what they and their classmates were going through. One year later, some of them are back to tell us about what's changed, and what hasn't. We'll also talk to former NPR Morning Edition host David Greene and Old Crow Medicine Show musician Ketch Secor about Louder Than Guns, their upcoming documentary and intimate dive into conversations around the gun crisis; and Nicole Floyd Smith of Voices for a Safer Tennessee about the Linking Arms for Change event happening today. Today's guests: • David Greene, former host of NPR's Morning Edition • Ketch Secor, musician, Old Crow Medicine Show • Sophie Kavalali, member of Mayor's youth council • Israel Perez, student, Pearl Cohn High School • Nicole Floyd Smith, co-founder and vice chair, Voices for a Safer Tennessee Learn more: • This is Nashville | Community responds to the Covenant School shooting • WPLN News | Covenant School finds ‘a beacon of hope' amid painful anniversary This episode was produced by Magnolia McKay.

Today is the anniversary of the Covenant School shooting, which killed three adults — Mike Hill, Katherine Koonce and Cynthia Peak — and three children — Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney and Hallie Scruggs — on March 27, 2023.  Last year, there were many events, both planned and organically happening, in the weeks and months after. This year, there is really the one, collectively. This week for What Where When-sday, we talk to some of the organizers behind Linking Arms for Change, which will form a human chain from Vanderbilt Children's Hospital to the capitol tonight. Organizations like Moms Demand Action and local clergy have announced their attendance. The nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition behind the event, Voices for a Safer Tennessee, began 11 months ago and now has chapters in all 95 counties in the state. Its board chair, Todd Cruse, and well-known musician and performer, Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, sat down with us to discuss the event and the last year.

Recently, Trailblazing Fiddle Player and Vocalist Brownyn Keith-Hynes released a few dynamic new singles from her forthcoming album, which gave me the perfect opportunity to finally interview her in depth. I've known Bronwyn for nearly three years, crossing circles in Nashville and stages around North America as she has toured with Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway and I was so glad to have her as a guest on Jrodconcerts: The Podcast. We chat about her engagement to fellow Fiddle Player Jason Carter, coming full circle with Charlottesville's own Dave Matthews, How trips to Ireland from a young age shaped her soul, Golden Highway, and much more. Bronwyn also graces us with a performance of 'Lee Highway Blues'. Bronwyn is a two-time IBMA Fiddle Player of The Year, She is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, and a crucial component of Molly Tuttle And Golden Highway. During her time in Boston, she co-founded and toured all over the world with the progressive bluegrass band Mile Twelve and won the IBMA New Artist of the Year with them in 2020.

A Nashvillian by way of Philadelphia, Vinnie Paolizzi has spent the better part of the last decade in the songwriting trenches, making a name for himself as a rising singer-songwriter to watch. His abilities as a live performer have led him to various roles from playing guitar for rising star Brittney Spencer to playing his original music in the round with songwriting legend Dean Dillon.  Vinnie self-titled LP— (out now) was produced by Old Crow Medicine Show's Mike Harris, and it  showcases a pocket of the Nashville community that has blazed its own trail in a time when Music Row seems to have forgotten its past, evident clearly in this first taste of the new music. Harkening back to the halcyon days of songwriting in Nashville—back when people like Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, and Guy Clark were kicking around and writing timeless songs before they became household names—Vinnie Paolizzi is ripe with collaborations from up and comers like Chapman and Meg McRee, as well as tried and true road warriors like Harris and Adam Hood. And the final product feels like that, like cracking a beer on the porch and working through a new song with an old friend.  For more on Vinnie Paolizzi, visit: vinniepaolizzimusic.com

Americana singer-songwriter and guitarist Shakey Graves returned to Big Top following the celebratory reissue of his acclaimed debut album of Roll The Bones X. With his breakthrough debut album, Roll The Bones, self-released in 2011, Shakey Graves quickly developed a cult following, and began his extensive touring career, sharing stages with artists like Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Mumford & Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show. Roll The Bones, catapulted the singer/songwriter into national visibility and lead to the artist signing to Dulatone Records for future studio releases which included 2014's And The War Came and 2018's Can't Wake Up. In subsequent years, Shakey Graves has continued to experiment with his approach to the songwriting process and has explored more expansive full-band sounds while venturing into more psychedelic territory through many smaller EP releases including Look Alive, release in 2021. His knack for storytelling and an enigmatic stage presence immediately draws listeners into his strange narrative world. The musician has captivated audiences and critics alike with his gnarly composite of blues and folk, variety of idiosyncratic techniques, drastic register shifts, and his off-kilter lyric sensibility masked with old-timey Western imagery, the Austin native is truly a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions.

Former lawyer Rudy Giuliani is being sued for defamation by Georgia election workers. Michael Gottlieb, the attorney for two of those workers, joins us. And, Ali Velshi tells us about his new podcast, called "Banned Book Club," which focuses on books prohibited in schools across the U.S. And bans on books don't only apply to schools — Missouri has banned incarcerated people from receiving books in the mail. Dylan Pyles, co-founder of the nonprofit Liberation Lit, joins us to talk about it. Then, Nashville band Old Crow Medicine Show released a new album called "Jubilee." Ketch Secor, one of the band's founders and current frontman, joins us to talk about the new music and his commitment to gun policy reform.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Boy Named Banjo over Zoom video!Boy Named Banjo has announced their major label debut album Dusk, due out September 29 via Mercury Records Nashville. On Dusk, the Nashville-native group explores the full emotional spectrum of the rich, eclectic sound they've honed over the last decade. Along with the announcement, the band also shares their wistful new single “Lonely In This Town."Produced by longtime collaborator Oscar Charles (Caroline Spence, Charlie Worsham), Dusk is an electrifying dose of lightning in a bottle over its nine tracks, running a gamut of late-night, fall-in-love party anthems and stripped-down meditations. Boy Named Banjo's songwriting is as incisive as ever, artfully grappling with lust and longing, hope and heartbreak. Sonically, the band's performances on the record are nothing short of exhilarating, blurring the lines between Music Row and Laurel Canyon with lush harmonies and bold cinematic arrangements. The end result is a masterfully crafted, larger-than-life major label debut from a group that continues to grow by leaps and bounds with every release.Widely beloved by loyal fans nationwide for their high-octane live shows, Boy Named Banjo will kick off their coast-to-coast Dusk Til Dawn Tour next month on September 14 in Atlanta – tickets can be found here and a full list of dates can be found below. Audiences will be treated to performances from their extensive catalog and new music from Dusk, in addition to their recent uplifting anthem “What Keeps Me Going” which earned praise from CMT, Holler, Taste of Country, Whiskey Riff and more. 2023 has already shaped up to be another banner year for the band following their Grand Ole Opry debut, a momentous milestone that was documented at People.Expertly melding an array of musical influences, the five-piece band is a fusion of contemporary country, Americana and folk-rock stacked on a foundation of bluegrass. Their self-released 2012 debut The Tanglewood Sessions helped earn the band a spot at Bonnaroo, while their 2014 follow-up, Long Story Short, led to festival slots everywhere from Hangout Fest to Dierks Bentley's Seven Peaks. After signing with Mercury Records Nashville in 2020, the following year saw the release of their genre-defying EP Circles, which landed them a performance at the historic Ryman Auditorium alongside dates supporting the likes of Kip Moore, Hank Williams, Jr., Old Crow Medicine Show, and The Cadillac Three. In 2022, Boy Named Banjo made their CMA Fest debut playing at the Ascend Amphitheatre Nighttime Concert as well as a sold-out hometown show at Nashville's Brooklyn Bowl. Formed in their teens, Boy Named Banjo includes Barton Davies (banjo), Ford Garrard (bass/standing bass), Sam McCullough (drums) Willard Logan (mandolin, acoustic/electric guitar) and William Reames (acoustic guitar/harmonica).We want to hear from you!

Basic Folk is thrilled to interview The Bluegrass Situation's July 2023 Artist of the Month: Molly Tuttle! Quickly becoming The Bluegrass American Idol, Molly Tuttle's new album City of Gold is hot off the heels of her Grammy-award winning 2022 record Crooked Tree, which also got her a nomination in one of the coveted "Big Four" categories: Best New Artist. Aaand we know that WE ALL have had eyes on Molly for years, BUT since she's fully embraced the bluegrass genre on these last new albums, Best New Artist makes a lot of sense. Bluegrass was the music she grew up with in Palo Alto, CA with her guitar-teacher father helping her soak in the vibrant scene. She's also learning how to take control of the bluegrass narrative by telling her story and sharing her perspective through her new songs.That rings so true with the new record, City of Gold, co-produced by Tuttle and Dobro-master Jerry Douglas (of Alison Kraus & Union Station fame), mostly co-written with her partner Ketch Secor (of Old Crow Medicine Show) and featuring her crack backing band: Golden Highway. She's writing bluegrass songs that are fun and insightful at the same time. We get a bluegrass version of Alice in Wonderland, the story of a woman fighting for her bodily autonomy and not to mention that time she married Dave Matthews on a road trip (LOL J/K, but that is a real new song with the real Dave). She digs into her new album as well as finding her own way in the patriarchal world of Bluegrass and leveling up about her alopecia, an autoimmune skin disease, causing hair loss. Molly Tuttle is a great hang, an inspiration for us all and has made a fabulous new album, City of Gold.

President Biden has made it official: He's running again. And there is yet to be a serious challenger to Donald Trump. Is the upcoming race full of undesirable candidates? Then, politicians seem to agree that that TikTok should be regulated or banned in the U.S. as concern increases over China using the app to spy on Americans. How serious is this threat, and how will people react if it's prohibited? And music has an ability to bring us together, and country musician Ketch Secor from Old Crow Medicine Show takes it as his duty. Secor talks about the importance of trying to unite people from both sides of the gun debate — to talk about real solutions. Plus, he shares his new song “Louder Than Guns.”  This is all discussed in front of an audience in Washington D.C. for a special live Left Right and Center. 

Can Country music help lead the U.S. out of the gun debate? There is a long history of famous country musicians using their platforms to comment on social and political issues. But since the lead singer of The Chicks, Natalie Maines, was ostracized after criticizing then President George W. Bush, country music stars have felt safer keeping their political views out of the public eye. Musician Ketch Secor of the band Old Crow Medicine Show is trying to change that. After the shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, Ketch wrote an Op-ed in The New York Times calling for country music stars to let go of the fear of retaliation from their fanbase, and to break their silence on the gun debate. Audie talks with Ketch about what it's like to be a musician and a parent in Nashville right now and what he thinks country musicians can do to help prevent another mass shooting.  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
