“The Spirit of Johnny Cash”
A concert dedicated to the extraordinary music of Johnny Cash.
Harold Ford, Laura Lucy & The Cash Band pay tribute to Johnny Cash and June Carter.
“. . . “I’m Harold Ford, but I feel the spirit of Johnny Cash.” Judging from the response, I would say that many in the capacity crowd at the Fort Salem Theater were feeling the same way . . .”
LIVE: Harold Ford & the Cash Band article Nippertown.com 10/8/11 written by Al Goldberg
| Johnny Cash’s music is presented in an informal ensemble of songs, spanning his entire career, creating a concert very similar to what Johnny would have produced and performed. True to Johnny’s style of showcasing guest artists and sharing the stage, you will hear The Highwaymen and Carter family songs as well as Statler brother harmonies recreated. The Cash Band is an extraordinarily talented team of four musicians/vocalists (lead guitar, upright bass, drums, rhythm guitar) who recreate the sounds of Johnny Cash’s rhythm section. |

From the distinct lead guitar of Luther Perkins (Sten Isachsen) to the upright slap bass of Marshall Grant (Mitch Throop) and the rolling drums of W.S. Holland (Peter Maine) expect a brilliant sound. Laura Lucy as June Carter embodies June’s playful nature as she wraps the audience around her little finger. The endearing harmonies of Johnny and June come alive. As every note unfolds, audiences sit mesmerized by the performance of Harold Ford and leave stunned. |
