The Man In BlackFrom the grass roots days of Country and Rock-a-Billy to the polished MTV and VH1 hits that crossed all age barriers, our tribute to Johnny Cash is a huge hit. This is no Las Vegas stage show, but an authentic recreation of the music and the man that captured the hearts of millions.
You will be astounded by the uncanny resemblance that Shawn Barker has to Johnny Cash. You will be even more astounded by his voice. Shawn truly captures the presence of Johnny Cash, not only through Johnny's music but also his storytelling. From the moment Shawn takes the stage with traditional Johnny Cash greeting to his exit, with guitar slung over his back, Shawn offers an exceptional portrayal of Johnny Cash.
The Man in Black features a band of seasoned professionals with musical direction by Toronto, Canada's acclaimed musical director Paul (Paco) Danesi. Lead guitarist Mike Burns has played professionally for more than thirty years. Mike has studied the works of Johnny Cash faithfully and offers the original Fender sounds of yesterday.
The Man In Black brings to the stage two talented female singers for duets originally performed by Johnny Cash with June Carter. These singers also provide outstanding back up vocals.
