"This is the best Johnny Cash you can get!” - 1st GigSalad Buyer
Stone Cold Cash exceeded our expectations. We hired Stone Cold Cash to perform for around 80-100 guests at our fathers and his best friend joint 60th birthday party. They were very accommodating to what we wanted, and even had the birthday boys come up and sing! They were professional and passionate about their music and what their band stands for. The price was fair and competitive to other bands we looked at. In addition, we had another band perform before them as the main set, as Stone Cold Cash was a surprise gift for my dad. Stone Cold Cash worked with the other band to make sure the timing and equipment was handled properly to ensure the maximum surprise! Overall, I would highly recommend Stone Cold Cash to perform at any type of event. This is the best Johnny Cash you can get!
Response from Stone Cold Cash:
Thank you Hilary! Your event was way too much fun. Thank you for having us out to play for your dad and friends. What do you say we do a reprise for his 61st BDay? ;)
Thanks again!

Stone Cold Cash will authentically perform Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two's biggest hits. We perform two sets of train rhythms and lyrics from the Man in Black telling stories of guns, trains, courthouses and bad-boy antics.
Johnny Cash was a towering figure in 20th century American music, a minimalist with a booming Old Testament baritone who could wrench an abundance of power from stark settings. At first Cash was backed by guitar and bass; in the end it was simply guitar. But when a voice can tell a story with as much resonance as Cash's could, not much else is needed.
Cash's songs – from his early gospel recordings and the resonant outlaw-country of Fifties classics like "Folsom Prison Blues" to late efforts like his unlikely, gut-wrenching cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" – influenced not only his fellow country musicians, but also rockers from Bono to Bob Dylan. By turns those songs were laden with pathos, whimsy, regret, hope, lust, and fury; they always cut to the heart of its subject matter, whether it be God, love or the plight of prisoners and Native Americans. Cash led a tumultuous life, battling drug addiction, chaffing against orthodoxy, and doing things his own way. But by the end The Man in Black became an icon, a man who earns almost universal respect among music fans." Read more: (link hidden)

Sets are usually 1-1.5 hours long followed by a 15-30 minute break.
