July 26: Jackson Cash
Starting with the grass roots days of Country and Rock-a-Billy to the Man in Black prison concerts, this tribute to Johnny Cash has been a stand-up hit in Branson, Missouri.  This is an authentic recreation of the music and the man that captured the hearts of millions.

You will be astounded by the uncanny resemblance that Jackson has to Johnny Cash.  You will be even more astounded by his voice.  Jackson truly captures the presence of Johnny Cash, not only through Johnny’s music, but also his storytelling.  From the moment Jackson and the New Tennessee Two Band takes the stage with a traditional Johnny Cash greeting to his exit, with guitar slung over his back, Jackson offers an exceptional portrayal of Johnny Cash.
