A Show That Walks the Line!

For nearly two decades, James Garner and his band have faithfully recreated the live sound and spirit of Johnny Cash, delivering a powerful tribute to the legendary “Man in Black.” More than a concert, this acclaimed production celebrates Cash’s music, life, and enduring legacy with stunning accuracy and heartfelt storytelling.

Featured on PBS and performed everywhere from theaters nationwide to the iconic stages of Folsom State Prison and San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, Garner’s show has become one of the most celebrated Cash tributes in the country.

Audiences will relive timeless classics like Folsom Prison Blues, Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, and A Boy Named Sue, performed with the authentic sound and energy that made Cash a legend.

Between songs, Garner shares stories and insights into Cash’s remarkable career, offering fans a deeper appreciation for the music and the man behind it. With more than 700 performances nationwide—including a special concert marking the 40th anniversary of Cash’s groundbreaking At Folsom Prison recording—this show continues to captivate audiences everywhere.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening celebrating one of America’s most iconic voices.
