March 26, 2018

This weekend, we had the pleasure of catching Steven Kent’s Cash & King: The Ultimate Celebration of the Legends at the House of Rock. I was excited to listen some Johnny Cash and Elvis music, never expecting to be whisked away on a nostalgic journey of music. First we must explain that Cash & King is not a cover band or a tribute band set on impersonating the artist. It is a group of phenomenal musicians who come together to celebrate the music of the legendary Johnny Cash and Elvis. Each member of the band is supremely talented and they delivered a spot on performance. The night kicked off with a superb set of Johnny Cash songs, sprinkled with interesting anecdotes and tales from Steven. His magnetic personality and the passion he has for these artists shines through his stage presence and storytelling. Then when he begins to sing, you are immediately transported to the memories that the songs held for you. They brought the music to life and the crowd was fully engaged and [Read More]
