Musician, singer, song-writer, and animal activist, Lacy J. Dalton will be performing at the Colonel this Saturday, October 28th. She appeared on “Mac In The Morning” on KODI and spoke about her long-spanning and successful career, how she got into music and mused on “what could’ve been” if she signed a record contract with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

Her father, a skilled musician in his own right, taught her a few chords and she was on her way to write songs for a legendary careers. She’s had an envious career, meeting legends like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings.
