ABOUT SHAWN BARKER Shawn Barker was born and raised in the metro St. Louis area where like most entertainers, his first experience with music was attending church with his family. In 2004, Barker auditioned for the part of Elvis Presley in the Broadway production of “Million Dollar Quartet.” The director, Floyd Mutrux (“Dick Tracy” & “American Hot Wax”), recognized Barker’s unique talent and requested that he submit an audition for the part of Johnny Cash. Barker agreed and was instantly cast in the part with Mutrux saying, “We have 100 people who can play Elvis, but we only have one that can play Johnny Cash.” Since then, Barker has performed his unmatchable tribute to Johnny Cash all over the world, touring in Australia, Europe, Canada and across the United States.
