Chattanooga Times Free Press entertainment reporter Casey Phillips spoke with modern troubadour and Old Crow Medicine Show member Gill Landry about his days living and playing in New Orleans, his upcoming move to England and his passion for travel.
CP: How is the rest of the year shaping up for you?
GL: Well, this tour with the Felice Brothers and shows I’m doing in between will run until Thanksgiving. I think at that point, I’ll take a break. After the tour, I’m thinking of moving to England for a spell, so I’ll be preparing myself for that and visiting family for Christmas and those types of things in Louisiana.
CP: Why England?
GL: There are some guys over there who run this label/promotion company who will release my record there and will get me touring. It sounded like fun. I love Europe, and the opportunity arose. Pretty much, it’s that easy. [Laughs.]
