“You sound so much like Cash, It's scary!”---Kris Kristofferson
At 6'5" tall and slender, dressed in all black, with that long black coat, dark hair piled high and an acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder, Steve Waddington is the definitive image of Johnny Cash in his prime! And when he steps up to the mic to sing, that big, rich, baritone voice leaves no doubt...this is about as close as it gets! Because Steve not only sounds like Johnny Cash when he sings, he plays guitar just like Johnny did...capo on the first fret, strumming near the bridge and then way up the finger board, holding the guitar up to ear level, aiming it like a rifle, or slung over his back when playing two harmonicas on “Orange Blossom Special”…all the classic Cash moves!
His band is made up of the finest musicians in the business, all working together to re-create the elegant simplicity of the Tennessee Three, to replicate the quality of the band that backed Johnny during his NBC TV days, to reproduce the sound of the original records, and to recall the raw power of his later Rick Rubin-inspired American Recordings.

Not really! I have SO much fun performing this tribute, and we cover everything from the Sun Records "Walk the Line", "Get Rhythm", and "Folsom Prison" to the Columbia years "Ring of Fire", "Man in Black", and "Ghost Riders", to his Rick Rubin produced "Man Comes Around", "Personal Jesus" and "Hurt". Hard to pick a favorite!
