Garner's show has headlined more than 850 professional performances, including a concert at Folsom State Prison to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Cash's groundbreaking 1968 live album. Gene Beley, a journalist who joined Johnny Cash's entourage at the original Folsom Prison concert, praises Garner's tribute:
"Garner and his band give concertgoers their money's worth. This act will not disappoint the people who wish to resurrect that classic Johnny Cash voice and rhythm."

As the most recorded and published Johnny Cash tribute show in the U.S., Garner and his band have released three full-length albums and performed coast to coast. His passion for Johnny Cash's music began at a young age.

"I started listening to Johnny Cash when I was 12," Garner recalls. "The first song I heard was 'Don't Take Your Guns to Town,' and I was hooked. Years later, I saw the Man in Black live in concert and even got to shake his hand backstage. That moment is something I'll never forget."

With Garner's storytelling and incredible performances, this concert will leave you inspired and longing for more. Grab your tickets today and get ready for an exceptional show celebrating the Man in Black!
