On this episode of Doc & Friends, Doc sits down with Dalton Jones, a Jacksonville, Alabama native whose music is rooted in faith, family, and real Southern life.
Dalton talks about growing up in church as a multi-generation pastor’s kid, singing alongside his father at just four years old, and the promise he made to his great-grandmother that still drives him to pick up a guitar and sing for people. The conversation moves through frustration, humility, and the moment he finally decided—after years of encouragement from his wife—that it was time to take music seriously.
From meeting his wife at karaoke and riding Harleys full-time, to playing over 100 shows in his first year and writing songs straight from lived experience, Dalton opens up about what authenticity in country music really means. We also dive into the inspiration behind songs like “Right Here in the South” and why Southern stories still matter.
This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about roots, perseverance, and finding your voice when the timing is finally right.
