The sun is climbing higher, the tour van is getting tuned, and boots are getting brushed off—Church of Cash is getting ready to hit the road for another unforgettable summer of shows. As a tribute to the one and only Johnny Cash, we’re setting our sights on towns across the country with one mission: to bring the spirit and sound of the Man in Black to stages far and wide.
This summer promises to be our biggest yet.
From state fairs to small-town festivals, from historic theaters to outdoor amphitheaters where the night air mixes with the boom of “Folsom Prison Blues,” we’ll be covering serious ground. There’s nothing quite like playing “Ring of Fire” as the sun sets behind a grandstand, or watching the crowd fall silent during “Hurt” under the glow of a single spotlight.
We’re especially excited about returning to fan-favorite venues and breaking new ground in towns we’ve never played before. Some stops on the horizon:
- A Midwest run through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas—places that feel like home, where the crowds know every word and the nights stretch long with encores.
- Our continued journey west, with new dates lining up in Montana, Idaho, and possibly the Pacific Northwest.
- Big summer festivals where we share the bill with other incredible tribute acts and original artists—we love being part of those lineups where music fills every corner of a fairground or main street.
- Special performances of the Folsom Prison Experience with the fierce and fearless Kat Perkins, where the audience becomes part of the story and we bring Cash’s historic prison show roaring back to life.
As always, I’m grateful for the road crew, the bandmates, and especially the fans who make this all possible. Whether it’s your first time seeing us or your fifteenth, we promise to bring it—every show, every town, every night.
Keep your eyes on our tour calendar, get your tickets early, and come ready to clap, sing, and stomp along. Johnny Cash’s music lives on—and this summer, it’s coming to a stage near you.
See you out there.
