The Man In Black
features the amazing James Yorfido, the only Johnny Cash tribute artist to be featured in “The Sun Records Story”, the official, international touring show exclusively endorsed by Johnny’s original, legendary record label from Memphis, Tennessee.
James Yorfido has re-created the ultimate Johnny Cash show by perfecting the look, sound and charisma of “The Man In Black”.
Vocally, his striking Baritone voice is a rarity amongst Cash performers…he actually has the exact same vocal range as “The Man In Black” himself!
Musically, his three-piece backing band truly captures the Cash sound with unmatched authenticity: upright “slap” bass, note-for-note guitar licks, count-for-count drum beats, all performed on expensive, vintage instruments and equipment.
In addition to capturing the “Cash sound”, James Yorfido successfully re-creates the distinctive look of “The Man In Black”, with meticulous attention paid to every detail of the Cash wardrobe.
This professionally scripted show features amazing historical facts combined with hilarious dialogue and audience interaction, to further complete an incredible audience experience.
Of course, Johnny can be joined on stage by the colourful June Carter-Cash, portrayed by James’s real-life wife Pam Yorfido, whose look, talent, experience and professionalism is a perfect match for this top-calibre show.
“The Man In Black” features all of the top songs from Johnny’s extensive career including early Sun Record hits such as “I Walk The Line” and “Folsom Prison Blues”, alongside classic favourites such as “Ring of Fire”, “Boy Named Sue”, “Jackson”, and completes the journey with later recordings such as “Hurt”, and “Deliah’s Gone”.
With an established fan base, coupled with the recent success of the Hollywood movie “Walk The Line”, this show is a sure-fire audience draw ideally suited for fairs, festivals, exhibitions, slots/casinos, theatres and special events.
