“I see the change in gun culture as just like another step towards the South's evolution.” AudieCornish speaks with a musician about his call to other country stars to break their silence on guns after the school shooting in Nashville:
Thank you to our artists for sharing the gift of music. You are the custodians of that special gift.I've been to this place, and I don't mean some kind of memorial after a mass shooting, but Nashville specifically. I lived there for a few years covering the South, and it's not a big city. It's dominant industries of music and publishing can make it feel even smaller, like everyone knows everyone.
This is Ketch Secor, founding member of the Grammy Award winning band Old Crow Medicine Show. I didn't even get an introduction at the vigil, but that's because everyone in the crowd already knows who he is, not just a famous musician, but a member of their community and a parent of two school aged kids. In fact, the school his kids attend in East Nashville, he co-founded it in 2016. It's called the Episcopal School of Nashville.
