THE JOHNNY CASH SHOW

(Clare McIlroy, Rob Warren, Gareth Gale and Garth Warren)

Zaffa presents a tribute to the great man in black, Johnny Cash in The Johnny Cash Show with songs all about trains, guns, love, heartache and ….. prison.

It’s fun, vibrant and electric, and features favourite Johnny Cash hits, including Boy named Sue, Ring of Fire, Jackson and many more. The show will also feature songs that were covered by Cash on his American Recordings produced by Rick Rubin.

The show will feature Rob Warren as Johnny, on guitar and vocals; his brother Garth Warren on bass and vocals; Gareth Gale on drums, and holding down the June Carter moments will be the lovely Clare McIlroy.

Expect to hear evergreen Cash hits like Cry Cry Cry, Man in Black, Walk the Line, It Ain’t Me Babe and Juke Box Blues. This country and rock ‘n roll show promises to have patrons’ cowboy boots a-tappin’ and feet a-stampin’.
