About the Artists:
Whether you’ve been raised on the gritty, unforgettable songs of Johnny Cash or you’re just now discovering the power of his music, Church of Cash is a must-see experience. This band doesn’t just play the hits—they live them.
With unmatched energy and a style all their own, Church of Cash brings the music of the Man in Black to life while staying true to the heart of what made it legendary. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to preserving the soul of Cash’s songs—the stories of redemption, the struggle of being lost and found, the raw emotions of love and loss, and the haunting beauty of those iconic prison tunes.
With a deep respect for Cash’s timeless catalog and a passion for performing, Church of Cash delivers everything from early hits like “Folsom Prison Blues” and “I Walk the Line” to the powerful late-era ballads of the American Recordings. But they’re more than just a tribute—they’re a spiritual revival of classic American music, offering a fresh yet faithful interpretation that resonates with audiences of all generations.
Since forming in 2010, Church of Cash has played thousands of shows across the U.S. and Europe, earning praise for their spot-on musicianship, stage presence, and reverence for the source material. In 2019 and 2021, they were voted Best Tribute Band by the Midwest Country Music Organization, and Jay Ernest was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2021.
With every performance, they don’t just cover Cash—they carry his spirit, inviting audiences to rediscover the music that still moves the world.
For those who believe in the power of honest storytelling, hard-driving rhythms, and the unforgettable voice of Johnny Cash, welcome to the congregation.
