Johnny Cash Tribute with Johnny Folsom 4 featuring Rod Abernethy 02/26/2016
Hello Live Music Fans:
Let me start off by thanking all the folks who came out to Motorco for the matinee show Feb 20th. It was our first time at that venue (terrific place BTW) and for doing a Saturday afternoon show. Hopefully we’ll do some more like that.
Next, we’re teaming up with Jazz Entertainment to bring you one of the best Johnny Cash Tribute Bands there is, Johnny Folsom 4, on Friday, February 26, 2016 at The Cary Theater. Rod Abernethy will be kicking things off at 8pm. It’s Johnny Cash’ birthday, so come on out and celebrate with us.
From “A Boy Named Sue” to “Ring of Fire,” four of Raleigh’s favorite musical sons pay tribute to the Man in Black with the Johnny Folsom Four. True to the Mr Cash’s poetic spirit, the JF4 promises an honest and entertaining performance for fans of all ages. Lead singer David Burney brings a lilting southern baritone to Cash’s classic songs which hits the mark well enough that you may wonder on occasion if Johnny, himself, is in the building. David Gresham more than meets the challenge of filling in for Luther and Carl Perkins on those classic guitar licks. And Tom Mills (bass) and Randy Benefield (drums) provide the hallmark, train-like driving rhythm the whole world loves. And when the boys are living right, the remarkable Miss Eleanor Jones joins in on those classic Johnny and June duets; hotter than a pepper sprout! When it comes to honoring Johnny Cash, JF4 walks the line.
Award-winning composer and musician Rod Abernethy crafts authentic and memorable music scores for visual media including video games, advertising and television. His rich musical repertoire encompasses traditional acoustic and ethnic scores, unique hybrid soundtracks fusing electronic and organic elements, as well as dramatic music written for orchestra and choir
We recently added a new show to the line up… on March 11th we will be hosting Reggae and International musician E’TU’-BMI’K at the Cary Theater. This will be a full band with lively Caribbean and International music.
