After last year’s sell-out performance, The Apex welcomes back The Johnny Cash Roadshow on Saturday 9 March. This is the only show of its nature to be endorsed by the Cash family! The band features award winning Clive John as Johnny Cash, Jill Schoonjans as June Carter, Nick Davis - Electric guitar & Vocals, Dean Elliott - Double Bass & Vocals and Jim ‘E’ Williams Drums & Vocals present their energetic and entertaining celebration of one of America’s greatest music performers - this is the finest tribute to Johnny Cash ‘The Man in Black’.

The Johnny Cash Roadshow will perform material from throughout Cash’s career including ‘Walk the Line’ and ‘Folsom Prison Blues’, recorded with Sun Records in the 1950’s to ‘Hurt’, Johnny Cash’s last release in 2002, recorded by Rick Rubin for his American Recordings label. There are many stops in between bringing the audience all the favourites, ‘Man in Black’, ‘Boy named Sue’, ‘The Ring of Fire’. The show also brings a focus on the duets Johnny and June sang, including ‘Jackson’ and ‘if I Were a Carpenter’. 2011 has seen new songs introduced to the show and a very special feature with Jill Schoonjans on Autoharp performing as June Carter would have.

‘Clive and Jill capture my Grandfather and Grandmother JUST as they were’, ‘absolutely authentic to the point where it felt as if it wasn't a tribute’ - Caitlin Crowell, Granddaughter of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.

From start to finish the band take the audience through the Johnny Cash live show experience. The chemistry of Johnny and June is also brought to the stage and with the accompanying video projection, which brings evocative images to each song, all help to complete the story of the life of a ‘legend’. The performance is energetic and entertaining for all to enjoy.
