Sean of the South

Sean Dietrich is a columnist, novelist, and stand-up storyteller, and multi-instrumentalist known for his commentary on life in the American South. His work has appeared in Newsweek, Southern Living, Reader's Digest, Garden and Gun, The Tallahassee Democrat, the Birmingham News, The Mobile Press Register, and his column appears in newspapers throughout the U.S. He has authored fifteen books, he is the creator of the Sean of the South Podcast, and makes appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. Sean’s one-man shows have earned him cult status in the Southeast, and among closeted accordion players worldwide. In the tradition of Will Rogers, Mark Twain, and Lewis Grizzard, his brutally candid, laugh-out-loud, and sometimes painful tales remind us that we are not alone in our human experience.

Bobby Horton

A seasoned performer, Bobby Horton is a multi instrumentalist, composer, producer, and music historian. He has also produced and performed music for nineteen Ken Burns PBS films, two programs for the A&E Network, twenty-three films for The National Park Service, plus many others.

Three on a String has enjoyed working with headline performers such as the Statler Brothers, Ray Stevens, The Oak Ridge Boys, Hank Williams Jr., and Red Skelton and have been inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.
