He met Kevin Hayes in Maine, where he worked raking blueberries.<ref name=":0" /> The newly formed group decided to call themselves "Old Crow Medicine Show" in honor of the traveling variety shows, or medicine shows, that roamed the American West in the 1800s. In 1998, the group recorded a 10-song album called ''Trans:mission'' and went on their first tour in October 1998, performing across Canada.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Block |first=Melissa |date=2006-09-04 |title=Old Crow Medicine Show Revives Traveling Tradition |url=https://www.npr.org/2006/09/04/5752794/old-crow-medicine-show-revives-traveling-tradition |access-date=2023-02-15 |publisher=NPR}}</ref>
In 1999, Secor and his bandmates moved to Boone, North Carolina and settled in a rural barn with no running water, where they worked on their music (and learned to make corn whiskey). In 2000, the group were busking outside Boone Drug downtown on King Street when the daughter of folk-country legend Doc Watson heard them playing, and brought her father back to hear them. Doc invited them to play in his annual MerleFest music festival in Wilkesboro, North Carolina.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Curiocity Interview: Ketch Secor Of 'Old Crow Medicine Show' |date=12 November 2012 |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/curiocity-interview-ketch-secor-of-old-crow-medicine-show/ |access-date=2023-02-15 |publisher=CBS News |language=en-US}}</ref> The gig proved to be a big break for the band, resulting in an invitation to play at the Grand Ole Opry where they met and were mentored by Marty Stuart, and got the opportunity to open for Dolly Parton at the Ryman Auditorium.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-10-15 |title=Matt Dellinger on the Old Crow Medicine Show |url=http://mattdellinger.com/articles/oldcrow.html |access-date=2023-02-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131015144612/http://mattdellinger.com/articles/oldcrow.html |archive-date=2013-10-15 }}</ref>
=== "Wagon Wheel" === Secor is known for co-writing Old Crow Medicine Show's biggest hit and signature song, "Wagon Wheel", which started as a short snippet recorded by Bob Dylan in 1973 called "Rock Me, Mama". It was extended by Secor to include new verses about feeling homesick for the south and hitchhiking his way home.<ref name=":0" /> Years later he and Dylan signed a co-writing agreement, agreeing to a 50–50 split in authorship. The final version of the song was released on their second album ''O.C.M.S.'' (2004), and was certified Gold in 2011 and Platinum in 2013 by the Recording Industry Association of America. The song has been covered many times, notably by Nathan Carter in 2012 and Darius Rucker in 2013, whose version hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.<ref name=":0" />
== Touring == Secor joined the Railroad Revival Tour as part of Mumford & Sons and Friends in August 2025, appearing with Celisse, Lucius, Nathaniel Rateliff, Trombone Shorty, and others performing in New Orleans, Simpsonville SC, Richmond VA, and Burlington VT.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Alper |first=Eric |date=2025-10-12 |title=Americana Artist Ketch Secor Of Old Crow Medicine Show Releases Debut Solo Album 'Story The Crow Told Me' |url=https://www.thatericalper.com/2025/10/12/americana-artist-ketch-secor-of-old-crow-medicine-show-releases-debut-solo-album-story-the-crow-told-me/ |access-date=2025-10-14 |website=That Eric Alper |language=en-US}}</ref>

Secor’s fiddle opened the album in “Busker’s Spell”, the first part of a "triptych" with “Talkin’ Doc Blues” and “Ghost Train” which related early Old Crow Medicine Show history.

As Secor said, “I think Dickerson Road represents an interesting story in the South’s saga of redistricting and urban renewal, because this corridor hung on and became a kind of testing ground for who can make it.
