Salute to Johnny Cash at WCU

art cash“Ring of Fire — The Music of Johnny Cash” comes to life at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24, in the John W. Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center at Western Carolina University.

 

Cash’s hits from his songbook will be featured as a multi-talented cast tells an inspiring story of family values amidst struggle and hardship. Actors and musicians will bring the iconic singer’s musical journey to life through “Folsom Prison Blues,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Ring of Fire” and many popular songs from the performer who was known as the “Man in Black.” Cash had a legendary way of playing, singing and songwriting that could make the listener laugh, cry and be inspired all at once.
