Grammy-winning musician and conservationist Chuck Leavell, who is perhaps best known for his work as keyboardist and musical director for the Rolling Stones, received an honorary degree during Bowdoin’s 212th Commencement. While on campus he sat down for what turned out to be a wide-ranging interview with the WCSH newsmagazine 207.

Rather than leave anything on the cutting room floor, 207 is broadcasting the interview in a series of segments. In this first installment, Leavell talks with host Rob Caldwell in the Studzinski Recital Hall rehearsal room about his involvement with music at an early age. He also references the honorary degree and offers a shout-out to his friend, Trustee Andy Serwer ’81, P’16, P’20. Watch the segment.
