The Man in Black: Johnny Cash

Johny Cash: The Man in Black. Known for his deep calm, bass-baritone voice, Johnny Cash is one of America’s great singer-songwriters.  Cash traditionally introduced himself with, “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.” His music contains themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption. The distinctive sound of his backing band, The Tennessee Three, was characterized by its train-like chugging guitar rhythms. Cash is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. His crossover appeal earned him the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame. Come “Walk the Line” with us!
