The Opera House presents: A Man Named Cash

A Man Named Cash – The Ultimate Johnny Cash Tribute Showcase

“A Man Named Cash”’ is the premier tribute showcase to the music and life of Johnny Cash and June Carter. This show has the distinguished honor of featuring vocalist Eric Hofmanis, who after a nationwide audition process was chosen by The Johnny Estate (which includes Johnny Cash’s son) to be lead vocalist for “Johnny Cash The Official Concert Experience” – a massive 7-month concert tour that spanned 100 cities and major concert venues across the entire US and Canada. This is the ONLY show of its kind to ever be sponsored by The Johnny Cash Estate.

Recognized by fans as one of the most honest and true representations of Johnny Cash live in concert, A Man Named Cash will take you on an high energy musical journey through the musical legacy of Johnny Cash – spanning nearly 50 years of music from his earliest days at Sun Recording in the 1950’s through his final days and musical rebirth with American Recordings in the 2000’s. Eric’s astonishingly deep voice and even deeper
embodiment of Cash’s character often has audiences utterly transfixed in their seats – performing classics as varied as his first 1956 Billboard #1 hit “I Walk The Line” to the 2004 Grammy Award winning “Hurt.”

Eric is joined by Megan Houde (as June Carter) whose natural presence alone adds an essential brightness to The Man in Black. The two’s on-stage chemistry (much like the real Cash and Carter) is undeniable, often unpredictable and genuinely charming and uplifting. The room does indeed light up each time Megan walks on stage though out each performance – bringing with her the perfect embodiment of hope, joy, love and lightheartedness that Cash’s music often spoke of as what was missing in the world.
The band also features guitarist Scotty Mac (an inductee to The Blues Hall of Fame) who’s incredible ability to recreated the guitar stylings of Luther Perkins, Bob Wootton and Carl Perkins all in one, makes A Man Named Cash an absolute one of a kind musical experience and tribute to the music of Johnny Cash as never seen or heard before.
