THE JOHNNY CASH TRIBUTE



(Rob Warren with Clare McIlroy, Gareth Gale & Garth Warren)

Welcome to Folsom Prison and get ready to hear songs about prison, trains, guns, love and heartache when Rhumbelow Theatre, Westville and Pietermaritzburg present The Johnny Cash Tribute. The country and rock ‘n roll show has played to sold-out audiences in Durban and is back by popular demand.

The talented line-up features Rob Warren, who lets the music do all the talking as the Man in Black, showcasing his expertise on the guitar and encompassing low pitch vocals that fit perfectly with the Cash sound. Joining Rob is his brother Garth Warren on bass and vocals, Gareth Gale rocking out on the drums and Clare McIlroy who takes on the role of June Carter with an irresistible upbeat country performance.

Rob Warren and the spirit of the band play tribute to Johnny Cash with songs including The Ring of Fire, Boy Named Sue, Folsom Prison Blues, Man in Black, Cry Cry Cry and Walk the Line. As well as songs with June Carter such as Jackson, It Ain't Me Babe and Juke Box Blues.
