Over a career spanning 50 odd years, released 96 and produced a raft of hits, drawing on his humble beginnings, strong Christian faith, humanitarian beliefs and stark observations of life’s ups and downs for inspiration.

The consummate performer, Cash evolved to become renowned as much for his distinctive, deep barritone voice and innovative fusion of country, rock, blues and gospel styles of music as he was for his charismatic onstage presence where he entertained with ease and connected with audiences on a very personal level.

Cashville pays tribute to the legendary Johnny Cash covering his lengthy career across various styles and periods of music including the many duets he performed with the love of his life June Carter.

A typical Show will see Cashville led by ‘Johnny Cash’, deliver authentic renditions of Johnny Cash’s classic hits and favourites with the same fervour and passion as the man himself. Joined at various intervals by the charming and witty ‘June Carter’, the onstage chemistry shared by the real-life couple is convincingly reproduced as they weave their way through their many popular duets.

The box office success of the movie ‘’ released in 2005, helped to rekindle interest in Johnny Cash and June Carter and introduced them to new generations of fans. Cashville puts their own stamp on the chart-topping hits they perform which clearly resonates with the diverse and appreciative audiences they attract. The magic they create with their onstage antics, energy and driving beat is infectious, making it hard for guests to resist singing along to the and hitting the dance floor. Die-hard Johnny Cash fans claim that the ‘Johnny Cash June Carter Tribute Show’ presented by Cashville is the best Show of it’s kind and they say they’ve seen them all. Bearing a striking resemblance to the legendary ‘Man in Black’ himself, Cashville’s frontman Paul Rye (aka Tex) not only plays rhythm guitar with the same forceful passion as Johnny Cash, but his rich, deep, powerful voice is virtually indistinguishable from the distinctive and commanding, deep bass- baritone voice Cash was renowned for. Covering the lengthy musical career of Johnny Cash, including his many duets with the love of his life June Carter-Cash, Cashville serves up convincing renditions of their combined greatest hits and track favourites to deliver an authentic Tribute Show. The formation of Cashville can largely be attributed to Paul’s teenage son who saw the Johnny Cash movie ‘Walk The Line’ by chance when he tagged along to the cinema with friends some time in 2006. Later he said, ‘You sound just like that guy when you sing Dad’ and asked Paul to learn and play ‘Folsom Prison’ for him. Familiar with the music of Johnny Cash and always up for a challenge, Paul was intrigued by his son’s remarks and enthusiasm so he headed off to see the movie for himself. Inspired by the movie and the challenge laid down by his son, Paul learnt ‘Folsom Prison’ but found he couldn’t stop - he was hooked. He started searching through Johnny Cash records looking for more great songs and discovered they were all great so he learnt a few, then a few more and before he knew it, he was being drawn further and further into the world of the Man in Black. He soon found himself playing Johnny Cash songs at parties, BBQ’s, the local pub, anywhere and any chance he got to belt out a classic Johnny Cash tune or two. He loved it - he was hooked and so were his appreciative audiences. His likeness to the Man in Black is nothing short of remarkable and his deep Johnny Cash-like voice just floods from him with effortless, natural ease. Through her portrayal of June Carter, Karen Grace delivers the gamut of facets this matriarch of was renowned for. A sincere and spiritual wholesomeness, sweet yet gutsy, lively vocals, sharp wit and sassy attitude with a dash of well-timed drama combine to present an authentic experience. This convincing, formidable duo will have you believing you’ve gone back in time to a gig with Johnny Cash and June Carter. The dynamic, powerhouse of sound Cashville is renowned for, is expertly supplied by Dan Berry on Lead Guitar, Tony Martin on Bass and Don Ross on Drums.
