The Man in Black - Tribute to Johnny Cash

About

The Man In Black A Tribute to Johnny Cash is an accurate and energetic recreation of an American music icon starring Shawn Barker. With his striking resemblance, spot-on mannerisms, and baritone voice, Shawn Barker embodies the character and spirit of Johnny Cash. In 2004, Shawn auditioned for the part of Elvis Presley in the Broadway production of Million Dollar Quartet. The director, Floyd Mutrux (known for Dick Tracy & American Hot Wax), recognized Shawn’s unique talent and requested an audition for the part of Johnny Cash. Shawn agreed and was instantly cast in the part. Mutrux said, “We have 100 people who can play Elvis, but we only have one that can play Johnny Cash.” Since then, Shawn has performed his unmatchable tribute to Johnny Cash all over the world, touring in Australia, Europe, Canada, and across the United States.
