The second annual Delta Music Museum Festival was held on Saturday, April 5, 2003 in downtown Ferriday.

Michael's father, the late great country music star, Conway Twitty, was inducted into the Delta Music Museum Hall of Fame at a special induction ceremony. The legendary Jimmie Davis, Louisiana's late governor who was also a prolific songwriter and recording artist was also inducted into the Hall of Fame as well, along with Aaron Neville, the world famous recording star and Grammy winner from New Orleans, who was on hand to participate in the ceremonies.
