*The Tennessee Three: Johnny Cash''s Legendary Band – Presented by Arts on Tour
The Tennessee Three began as the backing band for legendary country music and rock-a-billy singer Johnny Cash. They toured and recorded with Cash for over 40 years, until his semi-retirement in 1997. A live performance by The Tennessee Three is unlike any other in the history of music. They are not a "tribute act" or "cover band". They are original men who provided the unique sound that powered nearly every Johnny Cash stage show and recording since 1960. With its current lineup, they carry on the tradition, featuring guitarist Bob Wootton on vocals and W.S. Holland on drums. Their live shows attract a growing number of fans eager to experience the excitement of the sound defined by The Tennessee Three. In 2006, the group released a tribute album to Johnny Cash titled The Sound Must Go On. You can learn more about The Tennessee Three by visiting their website at www.tennesseethree.com.
