Jennifer Barnaba on piano, and Steve Lasiter on guitar.

The crowd went wild for Steve Lasiter as Johnny Cash in Million Dollar Quartet – so we’ve brought him back, along with his real-life lady love Jennifer Barnaba, to enact the story of Johnny and his wife June Carter Cash. The set list includes lots of favorites like I Walk The Line, Ring of Fire, A Boy Named Sue, Folsom Prison Blues, and Ghost Riders in The Sky.
