It’s a lethal combination when Australian rock royalty, Tex Perkins, takes to the stage to play one of the most influential American singer-songwriters of the 20th Century – Johnny Cash. Renowned as “one of the wildest and most electrifying front men in rock” (Herald Sun), Tex Perkins, singer with the multi-ARIA Award-winning Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon and Ladyboyz, leads The Tennessee Four in the night of memorable music.

Straight out of the classic American songbook - Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, Folsom Prison Blues, Sunday Mornin’ Coming Down, Get Rhythm, A Boy Named Sue, Hey Porter are just some of the more than two dozen Cash hits in the show.

Cash, who died in 2003, was one of America’s most influential country music stars, his output over a long career covered a range of genres, including rockabilly, rock ‘n’ roll, blues, folk and gospel. He sold well over 50 million records in his lifetime and his music is still selling today. Johnny Cash was dealt a very tough hand early in life, but through his music and dedication he became a legend throughout the world.

Rachael Tidd, who has sung and acted in everything from Shakespeare to Sondheim, interprets June Carter’s vocal style in the show, and Dave Folley, Shane Reilly, Steve Hadley and Shannon Bourne are The Tennessee Four.

Written by Australian theatrical producer Jim McPherson, and produced by Andrew Barker and Simon Myers.
