“His music stays in your heart forever and gives you peace.”
Tracy Ferguson, a longtime friend and personal manager of Ketchum, told CNN, “I’ve known Ketch Ketchum since 1985, when I first booked him at Gruen Hall.” “He played his first official moves in the front room of the old Hall for about 25 people. Everyone just had to sing a note to understand it and it didn’t take long for the country’s music world to take it into account.”
Ketchum has been a member of Weekly Country Music Performance – Grand le le Opri since 1994, their website says.
Their website states that Ketchum will sell 15 top 10 singles and five million albums.
In 2010, Ketchum moved to Texas where he would play in theaters and venues such as Birchmer and Aedes Attic. Ketchum was diagnosed with dementia in 2017, and according to Ferguson, he played his last home show on stage at Gruen Hall.
“One of the things about Hughes was that he had a constant love for his fans, and he gave of himself as much as possible,” Ferguson said. “His kindness and sweet spirit will be remembered by everyone who knew or met him.”
