"My Brother Johnny Cash"

Break for the Border, Dublin, Ireland is proud to host the ultimate tribute show, "My Brother Johnny Cash"

For three nights only on the 4th, 5th and 6th March 2010 Break for the Border will be  hosting "My Brother Johnny Cash" -  A tribute show to the great legend of country music starring his younger brother Tommy Cash.

Tommy Cash will be accompanied by the Cash Crew Band and the show will feature clips of Johnny and Tommy as children that have never been seen on television before. They will perform many hit songs, medleys and take the audience on a nostalgic trip back to the Sun Records years through the chart topping hit records and all the way to the last Johnny Cash hit, "Hurt".

Tommy Cash started his musical career as a DJ and is also successful recording artist in his own right with several hits in the 1960's. He collaborated with his brother on a number of projects, acting as manager of Johnny's music publishing house as well as writing and performing songs with his older brother. Tommy Cash has also written songs performed by country stars such as Loretta Lynn, Jean Shepherd and Kitty Wells.

 Johnny and Tommy Cash grew up in rural Arkansas in a close-knit family in the 1940's.  The constant threat of poverty was counteracted by the comfort of stories and music shared within the household.  At the age of 12, Johnny was already composing songs, and was performing for audiences while still a teenager.
At one stage in his life Johnny Cash was performing an average of 300 shows a year.  Johnny was introduced to June Carter, later to be his wife, backstage at the legendary "Grand Ole Opry" in the late 1950's.  June Carter co-wrote the infamous "Ring of Fire" with Merle Kilgore at a time in her life when she found herself falling in love with the troubled and drug-dependent Johnny Cash 

Johnny Cash - The name, the image, the man himself has become synonymous with American Country Music.  But Johnny Cash didn't confine himself to the 'Country' genre, his music transcends classification.  His music has topped both the Rock and Country music charts.  He has influenced the work of musicians in all genres, from Wycleaf Jean to Bruce Springsteen.   With his distinctive voice and his uncompromising style, Johnny crafted a genre all of his own.

Although Johnny Cash passed away in 2003, his music and everything that he represented to so many people endures.  Tommy Cash is proud to do a special tribute to his brother, and Break for the Border is proud to be the venue for this spectacular show in Dublin.
