Rusty Evans as Johnny Cash 
The Worlds Finest Johnny Cash Tribute Show.
Rockabilly Hall of Famer, Rusty Evans and his band Ring of Fire have
been burning up the California festival circuit with his rollicking tribute
to country music icon Johnny Cash.
With a voice of rolling thunder and a spirit like gentle rain Rusty
has been wowing audiences from Nashville to San Francisco with his stunning
tribute to the “Man In Black”. His weighted drawl doles out
molasses-coated syllables, putting an upbeat spin on less than optimistic
situations. Lending his own touch to world famous songs Rusty honors
the Man in Black with soulful honesty and exuberance.
Driving rhythms on his amplified acoustic Martin guitar are augmented
by his energetic three-piece band Ring of Fire. A hot rockin' lead guitar,
driving bass and drums create the powerful and irresistible Johnny Cash
signature sound, a pulse that drives folks right to the dance floor.
People often comment on how much Rusty actually looks like the Man in
Black. He's honored by the compliment and destined to continue in the
spirit of the country music legend he holds in such high regard.
When asked how he first came to sing with such conviction the songs
of Johnny Cash, Rusty replies, “I met the Man in Black in the 1960's
and was totally inspired, not to mention that Bob Dylan once told me
long ago I sounded like Cash.”
Early musical endeavors include performing on Dick Clark's American
Bandstand, touring with the New Christy Minstrels, working with renowned
producer Phil Spector and producing/recording for CBS, Reprise and Folkway
records.
Rusty has performed for many Las Vegas and Native American Casinos,
Performing Arts Centers, fairs, festivals, corporate events, private
parties, and rodeos all over the world. |
