The Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center will celebrate the life and legacy of “the man in black” as it welcomes Cash Unchained, a renowned Johnny Cash tribute band, tonight, Oct. 29 at 8 PM.

The band, fronted by 22-year-old singer James Tamelcoff, has spent nearly five years touring the U.S. It has performed at some of the most iconic theaters and venues, where it has shared the distinct sounds of Johnny Cash and his backing band, the country/rockabilly trio known as the Tennessee Three.

Dedicated not only to the authenticity of the music, sound, and execution, Cash Unchained is also committed to bringing the Johnny Cash experience to the stage through accurate portrayals, costumes, and (most importantly) attitude and voice.

In fact, fans and critics agree that Tamelcoff’s voice and passion for emulating Johnny Cash’s gritty, baritone sound are perfect for recreating such songs as “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Ring of Fire,” and “Walk the Line.”

“Cash Unchained is a unique tribute to ‘the man in black’ that brings the authenticity of Johnny Cash’s original performance to a modern stage,” said April Evans, executive director of Uptown! “I think audiences of all ages are really going to love watching them.”
