As is so often the case with unique artists, it takes another one to fully appreciate them. Having lived the life and music of Johnny Cash and other country heroes who came before and since, Ben, aka CASH, has effortlessly recreated the sound, vibe and appeal of the master himself.
There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Johnny Cash and those that don't know a damn thing about music. CASH are dedicated to making sure as many people as possible get into the know...
Music has always been central to Ben’s life, however it was the music of a certain JR Cash that managed that rare feat of stopping a young and energetic Ben in his tracks. It gave him that first ‘light bulb’ moment
“… this voice. His voice. I mean it literally brought me to a standstill. The words too. They just struck a chord with me somewhere and I really felt I understood what he was saying. I got this man, even as a child I could feel it”.
As a youngster, this was the first time Ben had felt that deep connection with music and lyrics. Ben realised it wasn’t just Cash’s musicality that they had in common. The way Cash stood up prolifically for the working class, and wasn’t some clean-cut musical ideal, only served to heighten an appreciation of the man.
Aided by many late nights and a plentiful supply of hard liquor, Ben would often sing Johnny Cash songs to his friends, strumming along on acoustic guitar. It took some coaxing from family and friends before Ben decided to take the Cash alter-ego seriously.
“People were continuously telling me I had to do something with all this Cash stuff, so I decided I would start taking it more seriously, but the word tribute was key. I would pay my respects to the man by getting his stuff out there again; reaching out to established and new fans, but in no way would I try to be him. That is just not doable in my eyes, so I don’t want people thinking I think I am him. Cos I don’t!”
"Without a doubt, CASH are one of the most authentic and skilled tribute bands we have worked with and we look forward to booking them again in the near future." Klub Revolution
"This is not a tribute band it’s a show complete with the Tennessee 3, June Carter Cash and the man in black himself. The best Johnny Cash show we have seen !!!" Steve Hallam Jump Events
