Act II – Our featured storyteller — Melissa Ford Thornton
Act III – Stories and Songs with Doc Dailey

Doc Dailey is a singer-songwriter whose music moves between Americana, folk-rock, alt-country, and Southern pop. Based in the Muscle Shoals area of north Alabama, he has spent over two decades honing a distinctive voice rooted in soulful storytelling and a sound that feels both timeless and immediate. A fixture of north Alabama’s rich music scene, Dailey has toured nationally, sharing his songs with audiences across the country.
Through his independent label, Southern Discipline, Dailey has released an EP and two full-length albums, earning praise for balancing intimate, finely crafted songs with wide-open, electrified arrangements. He often performs solo but is sometimes joined by his band, Magnolia Devil, adding even greater depth to his live shows. His catalog is available on all major streaming platforms, but it’s on stage where his music fully comes alive — raw, dynamic, and steeped in the spirit of Southern music.
