The signature sound of Johnny Cash is coming to Tempe as a musical tribute.

Tempe Center for the Arts is the sight for James Garner’s acclaimed tribute to the “Man in Black.” The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 12.

Concertgoers will hear familiar Cash favorites such as “Ring of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” and “A Boy Named Sue,” as well as songs from his historic “At Folsom Prison” and “At San Quentin” albums.

“We’re excited to be in Tempe in January,” Garner shared in a press release. “We’ve played in Arizona over the years, so we know there are a lot of Johnny Cash and classic country music fans in the area.”

In 2007, Garner and his band began touring with his tribute show, making a special trip to Folsom State Prison in 2008 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Cash’s infamous live album. That was followed by a performance at San Quentin State Prison in 2010.

Backing Garner is his longtime Boom-Chicka-Boom Band, a group of musicians from Northern California. Reggie Gay of Woodland picks guitar, Chris Akin of Stockton plucks the bass and Nick Auriemmo of Lodi anchors the beat on the drums.

“Our concert is much more than just playing Johnny Cash’s hits,” Garner stated. “There’s a lot of history infused in the show, so folks leave the show knowing more about the Man in Black’s life and his impact on American music and artists.”

In addition to having played more than 700 shows across the country, Garner’s group has released three full-length albums, making them the most recorded and published Johnny Cash tribute show in the nation.
