Steel Magnolias Podcast Presents Sean of the South
2022-10-30 19:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
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, and The Mobile Press Register.

He has kept up a daily blog for 10 years proving that the South and it’s people provide for great content! He has authored thirteen books including his latest release,You are My Sunshine.

Sean recalls, “Some of my earliest memories are of my mother singing “You Are My Sunshine.” She sang this to me especially when I was feeling hurt, lonely or sad. I distinctly remember Mama singing this song to me when I fell off my tricycle as a two-year-old. Amazingly, nearly forty years later, my wife sang this song to me when I fell off my adult tricycle. What I love about this particular American standard is that it’s not just special to me, it’s everyone’s tune. Everyone’s mother sang it when they skinned their knees. Everyone’s mama sang it before bedtime. The earliest recording of this melody comes from 1939, when the Pine Ridge Boys recorded it with lots of redneck yodeling. Throughout the years, the tune has been recorded by over 350 artists, translated into thirty languages, and butchered beyond recognition by pop stars who couldn’t sing their way out of a karaoke bar. I sing this song onstage for my wife sometimes. I sing it to my nieces. My wife and I sang it to my mother-in-law as she lay on her deathbed. It’s a song that is, essentially, code for “I love you” and you will likely hear it when we visit The Franklin Theatre.”

Sean will be interviewed on stage by the sisters of Steel Magnolias Podcast. Laura Beth Peters and Lainie Stubblefield co-host the weekly show where they provide space for each listener to have a place at the table while they have uplifting conversations about life in the American South.

This will be a night of stories, songs, and nostalgia!

Nashville, Tennessee-based, Australian-born country-pop duo O’Shea formed in 2007 after singer/songwriters Mark and Jay O’Shea made their 15-year love affair official and tied the knot. Mark, who began his musical career at the age of 16 after winning a talent quest, spent the late ’90s and early 2000s atop the Australian country music charts as both a writer and a performer, sharing the stage with the likes of Keith Urban, Trisha Yearwood, and Switchfoot, while Jay spent her formative years as a backup singer for INXS and Tim Rice, and worked as a staff writer in London, Los Angeles, and Nashville, where she landed a number one European single with “Little Miss H” for Spanish megastar Chenoa. The pair began singing and playing together live shortly after their nuptials, and released their debut album under the O’Shea moniker, the aptly titled Mr. and Mrs., in 2011.
