Episode description
In this week’s episode of The Morse Code Podcast, host Korby Lenker sits down with drummer, bandleader, and musical connector Jerry Pentecost. Known for his years with Old Crow Medicine Show and as well as touring with Bob Dylan, Jerry shares the unexpected path that led him from cover gigs on Printer’s Alley to the biggest stages in American music.
This conversation explores the tension between loyalty and growth, how Jerry found his voice as a musical director, and what it means to be a Black artist working inside the Americana scene. It’s also about doing the work — showing up, staying humble, and trusting the long arc of a creative life.
