James Garner’s Tribute to Johnny Cash celebrates the life and music of the legendary ‘Man in Black’.

James Garner’s Tribute to Johnny Cash celebrates the life and music of the legendary ‘Man in Black’ with strong conviction and stunning accuracy, historical accounts and personal anecdotes.

Since 2008, Garner and his band have toured across the country, honoring Johnny Cash and his musical legacy. A special show at Folsom State Prison in 2008 commemorated the 40th anniversary of Cash’s infamous live album recorded behind prison walls. The band returned to Folsom, California in January 2018 on the 50th anniversary of the prison concert, performing two sold-out shows at the Harris Center for the Arts, with guest artists Tara Cash, along with reporter Gene Beley and photographer Dan Poush, who had been at the prison to cover the original concert.

The musicians have recorded three CDs: James Garner: A Musical Tribute to Johnny Cash (2009), Shades of Black (2012), and James Garner’s Tribute to Johnny Cash: LIVE! (2015).

Recently, PBS affiliate KBIE filmed the band’s concert performance for a Johnny Cash special. Live in Concert – James Garner’s Tribute to Johnny Cash, aired on Northern California broadcast stations in December 2016.

Enjoy this fun, toe-tapping trip down memory lane honoring Johnny Cash’s life and music, and the boom-chicka-boom sound of his longtime backing band, the Tennessee Three.

On Sept 25th, James Garner will speak at an OLLI Class at Casper College at 6:00 pm in the Gateway Building. Registration required.
