Tex Perkins leads The Tennessee Four in a celebration
of the life and times of one of the most incredible singers,
songwriters and entertainers to ever grace the stage.
With his driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity and
a voice as dark as the night, the legendary Johnny Cash
revolutionised music. Tex Perkins, one of the most electrifying
front men of Australian rock 'n' roll, brings the hard-living
country legend to life, delving into the depths of the star's life,
love and loss. Tex will be joined by Rachael Tidd as June Carter
and The Tennessee Four.
Tex and his band take on Ring of Fire, I Walk the
Line, Folsom Prison Blues, Sunday Mornin' Coming
Down, Get Rhythm, A Boy Named Sue and other
classics in a show that tells the story of Cash's rise to stardom,
his fight for survival and eventual redemption.
'When Tex Perkins, formerly of the Cruel Sea and the Beasts
of Bourbon, grabs the microphone and growls: ''I'm Johnny Cash'',
you believe him.' THE AUSTRALIAN
'…Tex is Tex. Captivating and entertaining. And so is the
show. It will satisfy hardcore fans of both men. And that's no mean
feat.' HERALD SUN
'…he possesses the dark charisma of Cash, seems to be able
to relate to the dark material of the songs and has the range to
cover Cash's diverse musical palette that mixes up folk, blues,
country, gospel and rockabilly.' THE AGE
