Get rhythm on Friday 26 with an exclusive performance from Johnny Cash tribute act Cash Back, who has squeezed 260 shows into the last two and a half years in the UK alone – twice being championed by JohnnyCash.com radio.
Meanwhile, on Sunday 28, Montreal's six-piece Johnny Cash Show Tribute will provide an evening of boom chicka boom on stage, even covering duets Cash sang with his wife June.
Beginning his career as an outlaw to the Nashville establishment, Johnny Cash was one of the first artists to mix hillbilly music with blues, gospel and country. He signed to Sam Phillips' Sun Records and recorded classics like Folsom Prison Blues' and I Walk The Line.'
From there, Johnny signed with Columbia records and embarked on one of the most remarkable musical careers of the twentieth century. Transforming into The Man In Black, Johnny spent more than thirty years reinventing and contradicting himself.
Get a feel for what it may have been like to see the music legend this weekend.
