Revisit Johnny Cash legend

In 1968, Johnny Cash walked onto stage at Folsom State Prison and for the first time ever uttered his immortal words, ‘Hello, I’m Johnny Cash’.

Already a worldwide superstar, that iconic phrase and the 45-minute live album that followed cemented Cash as a legend of popular culture.

It began his rise over the next three years to a height of fame that has rarely been equalled.

Wimmera audiences will have an opportunity to revisit Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison when award-winning and highly acclaimed Australian country singer Daniel Thompson and Golden Guitar winning, Telecaster picking Australian country music legend Stuie French descend on Horsham. The pair, along with powerhouse backing band The Tennessee Express, will perform in Horsham Town Hall on August 3 from 8pm.

Thompson and French are in the middle of a national tour of Australia’s premier tribute to the Man In Black, Johnny Cash The Concert.

Since 2009, more than 50,000 Cash fans Australia-wide have witnessed the magic of Cash and his music through Thompson and French’s tribute to the iconic and beloved superstar.

They will present the entire Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison album, along with a selection of Cash’s greatest hits from throughout his career.

Selling more than three million copies in the US alone ‘At Folsom Prison’ is widely regarded as one of the greatest live albums ever recorded.
