Walking the line
The Johnny Cash Tribute
Walking the Line is the most authentic sounding and visual performance of the music of Johnny Cash, playing the most loved hits and some rare gems of Johnny Cash while recreating the look, feel and flow of Johnny Cash concerts. Walking the Line takes you on a musical journey that has become the Johnny Cash Legacy by performing material from every decade of Cash's legendary career. Walking the line is not just a band, it is a performance on par with a broadway production. Essentially it is a show! Vintage costumes, period accurate instruments. It is the complete package and recreation of the golden years of the Johnny Cash show. Walking the Line has won numerous tribute contests and awards and has career spanning fifteen years and hundreds of shows (quite often sold out) and has fined tuned their production to please any die hard fan or casual listener of Johnny Cash.
Playing the part of Johnny Cash is Thomas Michael Cavanagh. As one concert review stated “Cavanagh's voice, look and actions don't just replicate Johnny Cash, it is Johnny Cash.” Cavanagh brings his experiences from performing as a lead in Broadway for several major shows as well as his many years of working in the tribute scene. Performing the part of June Carter Cash is Donna Domingo. The Walking the Line band consists of Kenny Kearney, Chris James and James Jay Sharkey.
Walking the Line performs in a variety of combinations in an effort to reach as many people as possible and can adapt to stage sizes and budgets. The band offers a solo, duo, trio, quartet, quintet, septet and an octet depending on what the event needs or wants. As a solo act Cavanagh can perform all the legendary Johnny Cash hits as well as focus on the many songs Cash performed by himself .
