About Me

The COLD HARD CASH show is an innovative and unique tribute to the life and music of Johnny Cash.
Frontman Merle Peterson moves and sings like Cash, with power and composure, with an intensity and focus- more calculated than contrived. He's a conjurer of sorts, evoking the essence of Johnny Cash in song and spoken word. Merle is joined by a stellar band- Jeff Carroll (Bass / Trumpet) and Felipe Torres (Drums)- whose unparalleled comprehension of Cash music goes far beyond just the notes- into subtlety, nuance, and proper tone. The COLD HARD CASH Show captures the look, feel, and sound of 'Folsom Prison' era Cash.
Journey to the muddy bottomlands of Dyess, Arkansas. Go behind the walls of Folsom prison. Take a ride on the Orange Blossom Special. Brilliant and entertaining, this truly one-of-a-kind show is the ultimate tribute to the Man in Black.
"Great offices will have great talents, and God gives to every man the virtue, temper, understanding and taste, that lifts him into life and lets him fall just in the niche he was ordained to fill." -Cowper
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND JOHNNY CASH!
