CLAYTON – Join Sean Dietrich – a.k.a. Sean of The South – for a little storytelling, a little music, and a lot of heart on Thursday, June 6, at 7:00pm at The Clayton Center.
Dietrich, who has made a name for himself as the “Garrison Keillor of the South,” will play songs from his album “Porch Music,” as well as share stories of growing up in the American South. This show is presented by Musical Concepts Inc.
The middle-school dropout turned multi-instrumentalist, author, and storyteller first appeared at The Clayton Center in 2022. Since then Dietrich has performed at the Grand Ole Opry three times, published two new books, and released his first full-length album entitled “Porch Music.”
Taking lessons learned from his hardscrabble childhood, Dietrich has earned a following for his painfully honest writing, songs, humorous observations, and blue-collar love of life. His tales of covered-dish suppers, camp meeting sing-alongs, funerals gone awry, and hounds that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge have audiences drying their eyes one minute and slapping their knees the next.
After the show, join Deitrich for a meet and greet, where he’ll be hugging necks, shaking hands, and signing books.

The Clayton Center is located at 111 E. Second St. Box office hours are noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to showtime on performance days.
