SEAN OF THE SOUTH [headlining]

Sean Dietrich is a columnist, novelist, and podcast host, known for his commentary on life in the American South. His work has appeared in Newsweek, Southern Living, Garden and Gun, The Tallahassee Democrat, Good Grit, South Magazine, Alabama Living, the Birmingham News, Thom Magazine, The Mobile Press Register, and he has authored thirteen books, and is the creator of the Sean of the South Podcast.

"As a child, I liked to write. I filled up notebooks with tales of the high-seas, shameless vixens, and steamy scenarios combining both of the aforementioned. My fifth grade teacher found one of my notebooks and scanned through it. She told me I wrote with too many commas, and encouraged me to pursue a career in construction work.

That, old, woman, never, liked, me.

Years later, I learned my teacher had left the school. She took a job at the Piggly Wiggly as a cashier. I went to visit the old girl, to show her the man I’d grown into.

She seemed genuinely glad to see me. And I was just as glad to find her wearing that red apron for a living. After visiting for a few minutes, I realized something I’d never noticed before. Beneath her hardshell exterior was a regular lady, working from nine to five for pennies. She was doing the best she could with her life. Just like me.

Before I left, she asked me what kind of work I did.

At the time, I worked in construction."

Ellie Turner [Supporting Act]

An heiress to the folk troubadour tradition, Ellie writes and performs with an unhurried earnestness hard to find, singing not to be heard but to understand and be understood. The Texas native currently lives in Nashville, TN where she is preparing to release her first full-length album in early 2023.

"I heard Ellie Turner sing live and somehow her voice was demanding without ever thickening past egg shell. She's a velvet hammer, and the Country world might not be ready for her, but they damn sure better get that way." - Andy Baxter (Penny & Sparrow)
